I'll Take You Home Again, Kathleen Songtext / Lyric

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 bonnie 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 will take you to your home Kathleen

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.

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 will take you to your home Kathleen
