I’ll Take You Home Again, Kathleen

[Chorus] 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 bonny bride The roses all have left your cheeks I watched them fade away and die You voice is sad when ever you speak And tears before 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 [Verse 1] I know you love me Kathleen dear Your heart was always fond and true But I always feel when you are near That life holds nothing more than you But the smiles that once you gave to me I scarcely ever see them now But more and more and more I see A darkening shadow on your brow [Chorus] 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 home again Kathleen Hmm And when the fields are fresh and green I will take you to your home Kathleen
