Mr. Danny Boy Lyrics by Mother Love Bone

On Earth as It Is: The Complete Works

1990

Oh, ooh-ooh
Oh
Yeah
[Verse 1]
What can I take from you?
I said, what can I take from you?
What's worth a plug nickel from a silly fool?
What can I take from you?
Said, why did I leave you there?
Why did I leave you there?
With your long black kitty and your funky hair
Why did I leave you there? (Give it to me)
[?]
[Verse 2]
See Mr. Danny Boy?
Did you see Mr. Danny Boy?
He's a rock top boxer just a bundle of joy
You see Mr. Danny Boy?
Said, why did I leave you there?
Why did I leave you there?
With your long black kitty and your funky hair
I said, baby
Stop lovin' by the rules
Alright, come on, do it
[Chorus]
I heard the rumors, Danny
So stop that talkin', Danny
I heard the rumors, Danny, Danny
[Verse 3]
Lost back in Santa Fé
I had love with a runaway
And to think my daddy thought I was gay
I said I lost back in Santa Fé
The riff-meister was my friend
The riff-meister is my friend
I love that motherfucker 'til the very end
Bolan was my man, baby
[Pre-Chorus]
Stop lovin' by the rules
Ayy, come on, do it
[Chorus]
I heard the rumors, Danny
So stop that talkin', Danny
Heard the rumors, Danny, Danny
[Bridge]
It's a long, long road for this here desperado (Ooh)
And it's cold, cold, cold, my visions of tomorrow (Ooh)
So, when was the last time you wrote for me a song?
[Pre-Chorus]
Said, baby
Stop lovin' by the rules
And don't wait for sorrow, don't play the fool
Don't play the fool, yeah
[Chorus]
Danny, baby, Danny, baby
I'm talkin' to you, baby, Danny, baby
I'm talkin' to you, sweet little Danny, baby
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I heard the rumors, Danny
So stop that talkin', Danny, yeah
'Cause of them, you could've told me, Danny, Danny, yeah
[Outro]
Danny
Come on now, she said, you my little Danny, baby
Come on now, she said, you my little Danny, baby
Danny, yeah, Danny
