Ball 1910 [Interestingly - Chauncey Olcott was also involved with My Wild Irish Rose and When Irish Eyes are Smiling - quite prolific.] There's a spot in me heart which no colleen may own. There's a depth in me soul never sounded or known; There's a place in my mem'ry, my life, that you fill, No other can take it, no one ever will. CHORUS: Sure I love the dear silver that shines in your hair, And the brow that's all furrowed, and wrinkled with care. I kiss the dear fingers, so toil-worn for me, Oh, God! bless you and keep you, Mother Machree! Ev'ry sorrow or care In the dear days gone by, Was made bright by the light of the smile in your eye; Like a candle that's set in the window at night, Your fond love has cheered me and guided me right. CHORUS |

Levy Collection of Sheet Music: (The version above is missing the part shown here in italics.) MACUSHLA (Words, Josephine V. Rowe. Music, Dermot MacMorrough. 1910.) Macushla! Macushla! your sweet voice is calling, Calling me softly again and again, Macushla! Macushla! I hear its 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. |
