I'll take you home again, Kathleen

Across the ocean wild and wide

To where your heart has ever been

Since first you were my bonnie bride.

The roses all have left your cheek.

I've watched them fade away and die

Your voice is sad when e'er you speak

And tears bedim your loving eyes.



Chorus:

Oh! I will take you back, Kathleen

To where your heart will feel no pain

And when the fields are fresh and green

I will take you to your home Kathleen



Music.......

The smiles that once you gave to me

I scarcely ever see them now

Though many, many times I see

A dark'ning shadow on your brow.



Chorus:

Oh! I will take you back, Kathleen

To where your heart will feel no pain

And when the fields are fresh and green

I will take you to your home Kathleen

I will take you to your home Kathleen
