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 bonny bride.

The roses all have left your cheek
I watch them fade away and die
Your voice is sad whatever you speak
And tears bedim your loving eyes.

Oh, I will take you back Kathleen
To where your heart will feel no pain
And when the fields are fresh and green
I'll take you to your home Kathleen...
