Lyrics:

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 boonnie bride

The roses all
Have left your cheek
I 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-I'II take you to
Your home again
