Macushla MacMurrough

Macushla
MacMurrough, Rowe
Macushla, Macushla your sweet voice is calling
calling me softly again and again
Macushla Macushla I hear it's dear pleading
my blue eyed Macushla I hear it in vain

Macushla, Macushla your white arms are reaching
I feel them enfolding, caressing me still
fling them out from the darkness my lost love Macushla
let them find me, and bind me again if they will

Macushla, Macushla your red lips are saying
that death is a dream and love is for aye
then awaken Macushla, awake from your dreaming
my blue eyed Macushla awaken to stay.

Hi Eddy,

Thanks for your effort! But it's not the one I'm looking for. The Wolfe Tones chorus goes something like this:

Macushla mavourneen, will you marry me
A gradh mo chroide mavourneen, will you marry me
Macushla mavourneen, married we will be
And be happy in the valley winding down to the sea

And the first line is:

Oh, the pig is in the mire and the cow is in the grass

Would be great if someone could help!

Pete
