Lyrics:

I'll take you home again, kathleen (thomas p. westendorf)

I will be true (ivory joe hunter)

It's been so long darling (ernest tubb)

Apron strings (weiss/schroeder)

There's no tomorrow (hoffman - corday - carr)

I'll take you home again kathleen

Across the ocean wild

To where your heart has ever been

Since first you were my bonny bride

The roses all have left your cheek

I watch them fade away and die

Your voice is soft when you speak

And tears bedim your lovely eyes

Oh, I will take you home kathleen

Across the ocean wild

And when the fields are soft and green

I will take you to your home kathleen


Somehow I feel

That someday we'll meet again

Don't ask me how

It's something I can't explain

Until the day

I give up all hope of you

Assure yourself this I'll do

I will be true


It's been so long darling

Since I gazed into your eyes

It's been so long darling

But now I realize

'bout your love, not seeing you,

It hurts me through and through

It's been so long darling

Well, I'm coming back to you


Tadadada ... ? ... apron strings


There tatatatata

There's no tomorrow

When love isn't near
