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 bonnie bride

The roses all have left your cheek
I've watched them fade away and die
You're voice is sad when 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'll take you to your home again

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
