I’ll take you to your home a-gain!
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.
Chorus
To that dear home beyond the sea
My Kathleen shall again return.
And when thy old friends welcome 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.
Chorus
