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 cheeks I watch them fade away and die
Your voice is sad whenever 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 Kathleen
