THE WOODS BAND - THE SPANISH LADY lyrics

rate me

As I roved out thro' Dublin city

At the hour of twelve o' the night,

Who should I spy but a Spanish Lady

Washing her feet by candlelight.

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 neat about the sole.

Chorus:

Whack for the too-ra loo-ra-laddy

Whack for the too-ra loo-ra-lee

Whack for the too-ra loo-ra-laddy

What for the too-ra loo-ra-lee.

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 toss'd it, then she brushed it,

On her lap was a silver comb.

In all my life I ne'er did see

So fair a maid since I did roam.

Chorus:

Whack for the too-ra loo-ra-laddy

Whack for the too-ra loo-ra-lee

Whack for the too-ra loo-ra-laddy

What for the too-ra loo-ra-lee.

As I went down thro' Dublin City

When the sun began to set.

Who should I spy but a Spanish Lady,

Catching a moth in a golden net.

When she saw me, then she fled me,

Lifting her petticoat over the knee,

In all my life I ne'er did spy

A maid so blithe as the Spanish Lady.

Chorus:

Whack for the too-ra loo-ra-laddy

Whack for the too-ra loo-ra-lee

Whack for the too-ra loo-ra-laddy

What for the too-ra loo-ra-lee.
