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 loving bride.
The roses all have left your cheek
I watch them fade away and die
Your voice is sad when ere you speak
And tears bedim your lovely 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.
I know you love me, Kathleen, dear
Your heart was ever fond and true
I always feel when you are near
That life holds nothing, dear, but you.
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..
