I'll Take You Home Again Kathleen - Josef Locke

作曲：Thomas Westendorf

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 when e'er you speak

And tears bedim my 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

I know you love me kathleen dear

Your heart was ever fond and true

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

A dark'ning shadow on your brow

BUT 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
