You live in Tukalo Valley beside the fire waterfall
And ev'ry night I hear you call from beneath the waterfall
Hey hey hey
I wanna take you don't wanna make you
Live with me in Tukalo Valley
Hey hey hey
Hear me calling magic's falling
AII around Moonshine Sally
Moonshine Sally from Tukalo Valley
They talk of voices in the valley they say the evil moon is high
They say they hear no more of Sal ly where the magic waterfall runs dry
So ev'ry night I hear you call from the magic waterfall
Hey hey hey
I wanna take you don't wanna make you
