He's a lad from County Clare,
'tis the wild ones come from there
an' be sure 'tis in his coat
a rogue you'll see.
O'er the girls he casts a spell,
Oh, I know that very well,
for bechune us from that spell
I am not free!
There's no colleen in the land
could his iliquince withstand
should he spake to her
as he has spoke to me!

Me heart have ye stole
yure the thief of me soul,
me sinses ye have taken, too.
Both fair Trojan Helen
an' Vaynus excellin'
they'd ne'er hold a rush light to you.
Mavourneen! Mavourneen!
Sure one kiss would be no sin,
for I love you, Alanna,
your slave is poor Barney O'Flynn!

'Tis no rest of peace I know
an' I often bid him go,
for to one I'm sure
he never could be true.
But he answers: "Ah, mavrone
Faith 'tis you I love alone,
wid your tresses all of gold
and eyes so blue!"
Thin before he laves me door
I've forgiven him once more
for wid blarney such as his
what can you do!

Me heart have ye stole
yure the thief of me soul,
me sinses ye have taken, too.
Both fair Trojan Helen
an' Vaynus excellin'
they'd ne'er hold a rush light to you.
Mavourneen! Mavourneen!
Sure one kiss would be no sin,
for I love you, Alanna,
your slave is poor Barney O'Flynn!
