[D] As I went down through Dublin City
[G] at the [D] hour of [G] twelve at [A] night
[D] Who should I see but a Spanish Lady [G] washing her
[D] feet by [G] candle-[A]light
[D] First she washed them, [A] then she dried them
[D] over a fire of [A] amber coal
In [D] all my life I [A] ne'er did see
a [G] maid so [D] sweet [G] about the [A] soles
[D] Whack for the toora-loora-laddy,
[G] whack for the [D] tooraloo [G]-ra [A]-lay
[D] Whack for the toora-loora-laddy,
[G] whack for the [D] tooraloo [G]-ra [A]-lay
[D] As I came back through Dublin City
[G] at the [D] hour of [G] half past [A] eight
[D] Who should I spy but the Spanish Lady
[G] brushing her [D] hair in the [G] broad day-[A]light,
[D] First she tossed it, [A] then she brushed it
[D] on her lap was a [A] silver comb
In [D] all my life I [A] ne'er did see,
a [G] maid so [D] fair [G] since I did [A] roam.
[D] Whack for the toora-loora-laddy,

[D] As I went back through Dublin City
[G] as the [D] sun be-[G]gan to [A] set
[D] Who should I spy but the Spanish Lady
[G] catching a [D] moth in a [G] golden [A] net
[D] When she saw me, [A] then she fled me
[D] lifting her petticoat [A] over her knees
In [D] all my life I [A] ne'er did see
a [G] maid so [D] shy as the [G] Spanish [A] Lady.

[D] I've wandered north and I've wandered south through
[G] Stony-[D]batter and [G] Patrick's [A] close
D] Up and around by the Gloucester Diamond, and [G] back by
[D] Napper [G] Tandy's [A] house
[D] Old age has laid her [A] hand upon me,
[D] cold as a fire of [A] ashy coals,
In [D] all my life I [A] ne'er did see
a [G] maid so [D] sweet as the [G] Spanish [A] Lady.
