As I came down through Dublin City, at the hour of twelve at night, Who should I spy, but a Spanish Lady Washing her feet by the candlelight First she washed them,then she dried them Over a fire of amber coals In all me life I ne'er did see, a maid so sweet about the soul
Chorus
Whack for the Too Rye Ooh Ray Lady, whack for the Too Rye Ooh Rye Aye
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 the broad daylight First she brushed it , then she tossed it On her lap was a silver comb In all me life I ne'er did see, a maid so fair since I did roam.
Chorus
As I returned to Dublin City, as the sun began to set Who should I spy but a Spanish lady Catching a moth, in a golden net. First she saw me, then she fled me Lifted her petticoats o'er her knee In all me life I ne'er did see, a maid so fair as the Spanish Lady
