THE SPANISH LADY

LISTEN!
1. As I came down through Dublin City At the hour of twelve at night,
Who should I see but a Spanish Lady Washing her feet by candle light.
First she washed them, then she dried them Over a fire of amber coal,
In all my life I ne'er did see A maid so sweet about the sole.
CHORUS: Whack for the toora loora laddy, Whack for the toora loora lay.
Whack for the toora loora laddy, Whack for the toora loora lay.
2. As I came back through Dublin City At the hour of half past eight,
Who should I spy but the Spanish Lady Brushing her hair in broad daylight.
First she tossed it, then she brushed it, On her lap was a silver comb,
In all my life I ne'er did see A maid so fair since I did roam. (CHORUS)
3. As I went back through Dublin City As the sun began to set,
Who should I spy but the Spanish Lady Catching a moth in a golden net.
When she saw me, then she fled me Lifting her petticoat over her knee,
In all my life I ne'er did see A maid so shy as the Spanish Lady. (CHORUS)
4. I've wandered North and I've wandered South through Stoney Batter and Patrick's Close;
Up and around the Gloucester Diamond and back by Napper Tandy's house.
Old Age has laid her hand on me, cold as the fire of ashy coals
In all my life I ne'er did see a maid so fair as the Spanish Lady (CHORUS)
