Tekst:
verse:
I'm in love with a charming young lady,
Just the finest young lady on earth;
A gem of the very first water,
And I'm proud that she's Irish by birth
I met her beneath the green bowers,
I kissed her and liked it so well,
She blushed like the fairest of flowers
That grew in a mossy green dell
chorus:
Kathleen, so fair and bright,
Star of eve and darkest night;
Mid shady lane and meadow green
I long to roam with sweet Kathleen
