I'll take you home again Kathleen
across the ocean wide and wild
to where your heart has ever been
since first you were my blushing bride
the roses all have left your
cheek
I watched them fade away and die
your voice is sad whene're you speak
and tears bedim thy loving eye
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
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 scarecly 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 again. |
