I Ll Take You Home Again Kathleen - Josef Locke

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 cheek

I watch them fade away and die

Your voice is soft whenever you speak

And tears bedim my lovely eye

But I will take you my 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

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 darkening 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
