- I'll Take You Home Again, Kathleen
I'll Take You Home Again, Kathleen is a popular song written by Thomas P. Westendorf in 1875. In spite of its American origins, it is known and revered as an Irish ballad.
Trivia
*While many people believe this song is of Irish origin, it is, in fact, not. Westendorf, a school teacher in Plainfield Indiana, wrote it for his wife (who was, however, named Jennie). It's in the form of an "answer" to a popular ballad of the time, "Barney, Take Me Home Again."
*This song was sung by Kevin Riley, and later Moody, two extras on Star Trek, in the episode "The Naked Time."
*It also featured in an episode of the BBC comedy The Royle Family, where a rather drunk Joe Carroll suddenly breaks into song.
*It is also featured in the film Pollyanna (1960).
*The tune is given an excellent choral rendition in the 1947 film Magic Town when sung as the high school song by the townsfolk.
*It also features prominently in the soundtrack of John Ford's "Rio Grande" with John Wayne and Maureen O"Hara. This version is sung by "The Sons of the Pioneers".
