A young woman dances
A young man adores
He catches his breath as she steps to the fore
And an old Dublin headsquare floats down to the floor
As he spies Macushla
Love is forever yes love is for aye
No doubt no question no wondering why
A clear crystal fountain is shining on high
All to please Macushla
Joe he is handsome and Joe he is strong
He woke Meg this morning with a beautiful song
She heard a nightingale singing along
As he sang Macushla
Love is forever yes love is for aye
No doubt no question no wondering why
A clear crystal fountain is shining on high
All to please Macushla
Embrace your lover and take to the floor
Glide through the light like never before
There's no soul in heaven who could have done more
Than our own Macushla
Love is forever yes love is for aye
No doubt no question no wondering why
A clear crystal fountain is shining on high
All to please Macushla
A smile on his lips and a light in her eye
Love for aye, Macushla
