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
