The Spanish Lady (Key A - Capo 2nd Fret)
(Intro 1 2 1 2 3 4 GEmCDGEmCD)
As I went down through Dublin City at the hour of twelve at night
Who should I see 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 sweet about the soles
Chorus
Whack fol the tooralooraladdy, whack fol the tooralooralay
Whack fol the tooralooraladdy, whack fol the tooralooralay

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
Whack fol the tooralooraladdy, whack fol the tooralooralay
Whack fol the tooralooraladdy, whack fol the tooralooralay

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 knees
In all my life I ne'er did see a maid so shy as the Spanish Lady.
Chorus
Whack fol the tooralooraladdy, whack fol the tooralooralay
Whack fol the tooralooraladdy, whack fol the tooralooralay

I've wandered north and I've wandered south through Stonybatter and Patrick's close
Up around by the Gloucester Diamond, and back by Napper Tandy's house
(Slow Line) 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
Whack fol the tooralooraladdy, whack fol the tooralooralay
(Faster)
Whack fol the tooralooraladdy, whack fol the tooralooralay
(Faster)
Whack fol the tooralooraladdy, whack fol the tooralooralay
(Faster)
Whack fol the tooralooraladdy, whack fol the tooralooralay END
