Whats wrong with the Danny Boy music ???

When I was a child in Sunday School we used to sing this song to that tune ...

The words went something like this...

For God so loved the world
I find it written
in verse 16, John’s Gospel Chapter 3
He gave His Son ...........
He died upon the cross at Calvary

I do not know just what He suffered there
I cannot tell the pain He had to bear
I only know that for me He was smittened
He died upon the Cross at Calvary

There is nothing wrong with Danny Boy. I love that song. I love Amazing Grace. It’s just that the song Herman Cain wasn’t Amazing Grace, but rather the title was correctly noted previously and the tune wasn’t the traditional tune for Amazing Grace (although the words really do fit the tune of the House of the Rising Sun even though it seems to me to be a bit incongruous when thusly applied). I haven’t tried but I don’t think the words of Amazing Grace would fit Danny Boy.
