lyrics
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 you were first 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 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 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.
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.
May your glass be ever full.
May the roof above your head be always strong.
And may you be in heaven
Half an hour before the devil knows you're dead.
An American tourist travelling in Kerry came across a little antique shop in which he was lucky enough to pick up, for a mere €150, the shull of Brian Boru. Included in the package was a certificate of the shull's authenticity, signed by Brian boru himself. Ten years later the tourist returned to Ireland and asked the little Kerryman who owned the antique shop if he had any more bargains.
I've got the very thing for you`, said the Kerryman,'it's the genuine shull of Brian boru, 'You swindler',said the American'you sold me that ten years ago', and producing the shull added,'look, they're not even the same size'.
You have it all wrong', said the Kerryman 'this is the shull of Brian Boru when he was a lad'(boy).
May those that love us love us.
And those that don't love us,
May the Lord turn their hearts,
And if he doesn't turn their hearts,
May he turn their ankles,
So we will know them by their limping.
