Dubliners - Spanish Lady lyrics

rate me

As I came down through Dublin City, at the hour of twelve at night,<br />

Who should I spy, but a Spanish Lady<br />

Washing her feet by the candlelight<br />

First she washed them,then she dried them<br />

Over a fire of amber coals<br />

In all me life I ne'er did see, a maid so sweet about the soul<br />

<br />

Chorus<br />

<br />

Whack for the Too Rye Ooh Ray Lady,<br />

whack for the Too Rye Ooh Rye Aye<br />

<br />

As I came back through Dublin City at the hour of Half past Eight, <br />

Who should I spy but the Spanish Lady,<br />

brushing her hair in the broad daylight<br />

First she brushed it , then she tossed it<br />

On her lap was a silver comb<br />

In all me life I ne'er did see, a maid so fair since I did roam.<br />

<br />

Chorus<br />

<br />

As I returned to Dublin City, as the sun began to set<br />

Who should I spy but a Spanish lady<br />

Catching a moth, in a golden net.<br />

First she saw me, then she fled me<br />

Lifted her petticoats o'er her knee<br />

In all me life I ne'er did see, a maid so fair as the Spanish Lady<br />

<br />

Chorus<br />

<br />

Ive wandered North, and I have wonder South<br />

Through Stoney Barter and Patricks Close<br />

Up and around, by the Gloucester Diamond<br />

And back by Napper Tandys' house<br />

Auld age has laid her hands on me<br />

Cold as a fire of ashy coals....<br />

But, there is the love of me Spanish Lady, a maid so sweet about the soul<br />

<br />
