@brinorl... As far as I know, it was written by an American, Thomas P. Westendorf – a teacher in Indiana - in 1875, based on an Irish song called, “Blow out the Candle.” He wrote it for his wife and it’s in the form of an answer to a popular song of the time, called, “Barney, Take me Home again.”

i'm a kathleen. hated the name when i was a bairn but love it now. And no.. I'm not Scottish {not that i wouldn't mind) BUT I LOVE THE IRISH. PS. I'm from Yorkshire
-
always thought of as an Irish song, but years ago I read it was written with another country in mind by the composer. Dont know who, or where, maybe someone does.

A customer at my work today told me to listen to this song because my name is Kathleen. Huge kudos to you sir!

@33344999 I know what you mean. I sang Fields of Athenry (my Dad's favorite) and the Wild Rover at a Charity Night in Feb, they went down a storm, everyone with a heart loves Irish music so you got a heart, keep singing them old songs! xx

My Mum was called Kathleen, my dad died on the 3rd of March this year. I had the privellage of him dying in my arms while I sang this song to him. his passing was so peaceful it was an honour for me to be there. I miss him so much did not do enough as a daughter x

this one always makes me cry - my Scottish father always sang it to my (Irish descended) mother ......... not the best version I've heard but notwithstanding that ..... I'm sitting here crying! Blessings to all Kathleens and those who love them <3
