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 funny bride
The roses all have left your cheek
To where your heart has ever been
To where your heart has ever been
I've watched them fade away at night
Your voice is sad whenever you speak
And tears begin your loving eyes
Oh, I will take you home again
I'll take you back, Kathleen
To where your heart will find no pain
And when the fields are fresh and green
I'll take you to your home, Kathleen
I know you love me, Kathleen dear
Your heart was ever fond and true
I'll take you home again, Kathleen
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 at me
To where
your heart
will feel no pain
And when
the fields are
fresh and green
I'll
take you
to your
home
Kathleen
