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 cheeks
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
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
But 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...
