Dubliners - Spanish Lady lyrics
rate meAs 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 />
