I'll Take You Home Again Kathleen


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 blushing 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

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 again

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 darkening shadow on your brow

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 home again, Kathleen
