I'LL TAKE YOU HOME AGAIN KATHLEEN

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 
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'II take you to your home again 
I know you love me Kathleen, dear 
Your heart was ever fond and [bad word] 
I always feel when you are near 
That life holds nothing dear but you 
The smiles that once you gave to me 
I scarcely ever see them now 
Though many many times I see 
dark'ning shadow on your brow 
To that dear home beyond the sea 
My Kathleen shall again return 
And when thy old friends [bad word] thee 
Thy loving heart will cease to yearn 
Where laughs the little silver stream 
Beside your mother's humble cot 
And brightest rays of sunshine gleam 
There all your grief will be forgot
