The Spanish lady

G Em

1. As I went down through Dublin City

C D7

At the hour of twelve at night

G Em

Who should I see but the Spanish lady

C D7

Washing her feet by candlelight

G

First she washed them

D7

Then she dried them

G D7

Over a fire of amber coal ____

G Em

In all my life I ne´er did see

C D7

A maid so sweet about the soul

G Em C D7

Chorus: Whack fol the too ra loo ra laddy, whack fol the too ra loo ra lay

G Em C D7

Whack fol the too ra loo ra laddy, whack fol the too ra loo ra 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 the 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 ne'er did I see, a maid so shy as the Spanish Lady

Chorus

4. I´ve wandered north and I´ve wandered south, through Stonybatter and Patrick´s Course

Up and around by the Glouster Diamond, and back by Napper Tandy´s house

Old age has laid her hand on me, cold as a fire of ashy coals

In all my life I ne´er did see, a maid so sweet as the Spanish Lady

Chorus
