Dubliners Spanish Lady Lyrics

Spanish Lady Lyrics

As I came down through Dublin City, at the hour of twelve at night,



Who should I spy, but a Spanish Lady



Washing her feet by the candlelight



First she washed them,then she dried them



Over a fire of amber coals



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







Chorus







Whack for the Too Rye Ooh Ray Lady,



whack for the Too Rye Ooh Rye Aye







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 brushed it , then she tossed it



On her lap was a silver comb



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







Chorus







As I returned to Dublin City, as the sun began to set



Who should I spy but a Spanish lady



Catching a moth, in a golden net.



First she saw me, then she fled me



Lifted her petticoats o'er her knee



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







Chorus







Ive wandered North, and I have wonder South



Through Stoney Barter and Patricks Close



Up and around, by the Gloucester Diamond



And back by Napper Tandys' house



Auld age has laid her hands on me



Cold as a fire of ashy coals....



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