What does "tis" mean in the song "Danny boy"? There's a song called "Danny boy" and I looked for the word meanings but I couldn't find the meaning of the word "tis" when it says: The summer's gone, and all the flowers are dying 'Tis you, 'tis you must go and I must bide. I assume it is a contraction of a word, does anybody know?

'Tis means "It is." The apostrophe replaces the letter "I."
