\beginverse
|
|
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
|
|
O'er a fire of amber coal,
|
|
In all my life I ne'er did see
|
|
A maid so sweet about the sole.
|

\beginchorus
|
|
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.

\beginverse
|
|
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.
|

\beginverse
|
|
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 o'er her knee,
|
|
In all my life I ne'er did see
|
|
A maid so shy as the Spanish lady.

\beginverse
|
|
I've wandered north and I've wandered south,
|
|
Through Stonybatter and Patrick's Close,
|
|
Up and around the Glouster diamond
|
|
And back by Napper Tandy's house.
|
|
Old age has her hand laid on me,
|
|
Cold as a fire of ashy coals,
|
|
But in all my life I ne'er did see,
|
|
A maid so sweet as the Spanish lady.
