The Spanish Lady Lyrics & Tabs by The Evergreens
The Spanish Lady
guitar chords lyrics
As I went down through Dublin City at the hour of twelve at night
Who should I see but the 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 sole
Whack for the toora loora laddy
Whack for the toora loora lay
Whack for the toora loora laddy
Whack for the toora loora lay
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
Whack for the toora loora laddy
Whack for the toora loora lay
Whack for the toora loora laddy
Whack for the toora loora laddy
Whack for the toora loora lay
Whack for the toora loora laddy
Whack for the toora loora lay
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 knee
In all my life I ne'er did see a maid so shy as the Spanish lady
Whack for the toora loora laddy
Whack for the toora loora lay
Whack for the toora loora laddy
Whack for the toora loora lay
I'e 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, in all my life I ne'er did see a maid so sweet as the Spanish lady
Whack for the toora loora laddy
Whack for the toora loora lay
Whack for the toora loora laddy
Whack for the toora loora lay
Whack for the toora loora laddy
Whack for the toora loora lay
Whack for the toora loora laddy
Whack for the toora loora lay
