As  I came down thru Dublin  city at  the hour of twelve  at night
Who  should I see but a 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 broadday light
 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
