[G] As I went down through [Em] Dublin City
[C] at the [G] hour of [Am] twelve at [D7] night
[G] Who should I see but a [Em] Spanish Lady [C] washing her
[G] feet by [Am] candle-[D7]light
[G] First she washed them, [C] then she dried them
[G] over a fire of [D7] amber coal
In [G] all my life I [Em] ne'er did see
a [C] maid so [G] sweet [Am] about the [D7] soles
[G] Whack for the toora [Em]-loora-laddy,
[C] whack for the [G] tooraloo [Am]-ra [D7]-lay
[G] Whack for the toora [Em]-loora-laddy,
[C] whack for the [G] tooraloo [Am]-ra [D7]-lay
[G] As I came back through [Em] Dublin City
[C] at the [G] hour of [Am] half past [D7] eight
[G] Who should I spy but the [Em] Spanish Lady
[C] brushing her [G] hair in the [Am] broad day-[D7]light,
[G] First she tossed it, [C] then she brushed it
[G] on her lap was a [D7] silver comb
In [G] all my life I [Em] ne'er did see,
a [C] maid so [G] fair since [Am] I did [D7] roam.

[G] As I went back through [Em] Dublin City
[C] as the [G] sun be-[Am]gan to [D7] set
[G] Who should I spy but the [Em] Spanish Lady
[C] catching a [G] moth in a [Am] golden [D7] net
[G] When she saw me, [C] then she fled me
[G] lifting her petticoat [D7] over her knees
In [G] all my life I [Em] ne'er did see
a [C] maid so [G] shy as the [Am] Spanish [D7] Lady.

[G] I've wandered north and I've [Em] wandered south through
[C] Stony-[G]batter and [Am] Patrick's [D7] close
[G] Up and around by the [Em] Gloucester Diamond, and [C] back by
[G] Napper [Am] Tandy's [D7] house
[G] Old age has laid her [C] hand upon me,
[G] cold as a fire of [D7] ashy coals,
In [G] all my life I [Em] ne'er did see
a [C] maid so [G] sweet as the [Am] Spanish [D7] Lady.
