Across the ocean wild
 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 soft when you speak
 And tears bedim your lovely eyes
 Oh, I will take you home Kathleen
 Across the ocean wild
 And when the fields are soft and green
 I will take you to your home Kathleen

 Somehow I feel
 That someday we'll meet again
 Don't ask me how
 It's something I can't explain
 Until the day
 I give up all hope of you
 Assure yourself this I'll do
 I will be true

 It's been so long darling
 Since I gazed into your eyes
 It's been so long darling
 But now I realize
 'bout your love, not seeing you,
 It hurts me through and through
 It's been so long darling
 Well, I'm coming back to you

 tadadada ... ?... Apron strings

 There tatatatata
 There's no tomorrow
 When love isn't near
