DANNY BOY - aka LONDONERRY AIR - is a much loved Irish-Scottish tune that has been around almost forever. Naturally, such a wistful, gentle, and enduring song has been recorded by countless artists.
Here's an album with a dreamy lullaby tucked away in the middle - "Beautiful Dreamer", the old Stephen Foster standard from the late 1800's. Some have claimed it was Foster's final composition, but likely it was penned a couple years prior to his passing.

lyrics
O Danny Boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling
From glen to glen, and down the mountain side.
The summer's gone and all the roses falling;
It's you, it's you must go and I must bide.
But come ye back when summer's in the meadow,
Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow.
Yes, I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow;
Oh Danny Boy, oh Danny Boy, I love you so!
But when ye come, and all the flow'rs are dying,
If I am dead, as dead I well may be.
Ye'll come and find the place where I am lying,
And kneel and say an Ave there for me.
And I shall hear, though soft you tread above me;
And oh my grave will warmer, sweeter be,
For you will bend and tell me that you love me;
And I shall sleep in peace until you come to me!
