johnny mcevoy - spanish lady lyrics
as i roved out thro’ dublin city
at the hour of twelve o’ the night,
who should i spy 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 neat about the sole.
whack for the too-ra loo-ra-laddy
whack for the too-ra loo-ra-lee
whack for the too-ra loo-ra-laddy
what for the too-ra loo-ra-lee.
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 toss’d it, then she brushed it,
on her lap was a silver comb.
in all my life i ne’er did see
so fair a maid since i did roam.
whack for the too-ra loo-ra-laddy
whack for the too-ra loo-ra-lee
whack for the too-ra loo-ra-laddy
what for the too-ra loo-ra-lee.
as i went down thro’ dublin city
when the sun began to set.
who should i spy but a spanish lady
catching a moth in a golden net.
when she saw me, then she fled me,
lifting her petticoat over the knee,
in all my life i ne’er did spy
a maid so blithe as the spanish lady.
whack for the too-ra loo-ra-laddy
whack for the too-ra loo-ra-lee
whack for the too-ra loo-ra-laddy
what for the too-ra loo-ra-lee.
