Strum
D-DU-UDU
  As  I came down thru Dublin city at  the hour  of twelve  at night
  Who  should I see but Spanish  Lady, Washing  her  feet by
  candlelight
  First  she washed them  then she dried them  over a fire of  amber
  coals
  In all  my life I ne'er  did see a maid  so sweet  about  the soul
 
 Whack for the toora loora laddy
  Whack  for the toora loora lay
  Whack  for the toora loora laddy
  Whack  for the torra loora lay
  As I came back thru Dublin city at the hour of half past eight
  Who should I see but the Spanish lady brushing her hair in broad
  daylight
  First she tossed it then she combed 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
  CHO:
  As I came back thru Dublin city as the sun began to set
  Who should I see but the Spanish lady catching a moth in a golden
  net
  When see saw me then she fled me lifting her pettycoat over her
  knee
  In all my life I ne'er did see a maid so shy as the Spanish Lady
  CHO:
  I've wandered north and I've wandered south throu stormy batter
  and Patricks Close
  Up and around the by the Glouster Diamond and back by Napper
  Tandy's house
  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
