Lyrics
O, men from the fields! come gently within
Tread softly, softly, O men coming in
Mavoureen is going from me and from you
Where Mary will fold him with mantle of blue
From the reek of the smoke and the cold of the floor
And the peering of things across the half door
O, men from the fields, soft, softly come through
Mary puts round him her mantle of blue
Performance
