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 you were first my bonnie bride.

The roses 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.

Chorsu: 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 no thing, dear, but you.

The smiles that once you gave to me
I scarely see them now,
though many, many times I see
A dark'ning shadow on your brow

Chorus

To that dear home beyond the sea
My Kathleen shall again return.
And when thy old friends welcome thee
Thy loving heart will cease to yearn.

Where laughs the little sieuer stream
Beside your mother's humble cot,
And brightest rays of sunshine gleam
There all your grief will be forgot.
