Lyrics
Lifting her petticoat o er her knee, as i came back through dublin city
As i came back through dublin city, over a fire of amber coal
And back by napper tandy s house, over a fire of amber coal, as i went down through dublin city
first she washed them then she dried them
Who should i spy but the spanish lady, as i went back through dublin city
Catching a moth in a golden net, at the hour of half past eight, whack for the toora loora lay
Whack fo rthe toora loora lie, in all my life i ne er did see
First she brushed it then she tossed it, washing her feet by candlelight
In all my life i ne er did see, as i went down through dublin city
As i came back through dublin city, up and around the gloster diamond
cold as a fire of ashy coals
Who should i spy but the spanish lady, throug stonybatter and patrick s close
i ve wandered north and i ve wandered south
Whack fo rthe toora loora lie, when she saw me then she fled me
Who should i spy but the spanish lady, up and around the gloster diamond
In all my life i ne er did see, in all my life i ne er did see The, whack for the toora loora lay
whack for the toora loora lay
Washing her feet by candlelight, i ve wandered north and i ve wandered south
washing her feet by candlelight
Whack fo rthe toora loora lie, when she saw me then she fled me
First she brushed it then she tossed it, who should i spy but the spanish lady Lady, i ve wandered north and i ve wandered south
Throug stonybatter and patrick s close, first she washed them then she dried them John, catching a moth in a golden net
A maid so fair as the spanish lady, whack for the toora loora lay
First she brushed it then she tossed it, a maid so fair as the spanish lady
In all my life i ne er did see, as i went down through dublin city
A maid so fair as the spanish lady, as the sun began to set
In all my life i ne er did see, at the hour of twelve at night
A maid so fair as the spanish lady, who should i spy but the spanish lady
As i went down through dublin city, whack fo rthe toora loora lie John, who should i spy but the spanish lady
At the hour of twelve at night, when she saw me then she fled me, at the hour of twelve at night
As i came back through dublin city, cold as a fire of ashy coals
In all my life i ne er did see, as i went down through dublin city John, old age has laid her hand on me
who should i spy but the spanish lady
Brushing her hair in the broad daylight, when she saw me then she fled me John, a maid so fair as the spanish lady
Whack fo rthe toora loora lie, a maid so sweet about the soul
In all my life i ne er did see, whack for the toora loora lay McDermott, who should i spy but the spanish lady
Whack fo rthe toora loora lie, in all my life i ne er did see, in all my life i ne er did see
Brushing her hair in the broad daylight, when she saw me then she fled me
In all my life i ne er did see, washing her feet by candlelight
when she saw me then she fled me
a maid so fair as the spanish lady
lifting her petticoat o er her knee
And back by napper tandy s house, and back by napper tandy s house
in all my life i ne er did see
whack for the toora loora lay
Whack for the toora loora lay, at the hour of half past eight
throug stonybatter and patrick s close
who should i spy but a spanish lady
Catching a moth in a golden net, first she brushed it then she tossed it
Lifting her petticoat o er her knee, a maid so fair as the spanish lady
Old age has laid her hand on me, a maid so fair as the spanish lady
In all my life i ne er did see, old age has laid her hand on me The, washing her feet by candlelight
First she brushed it then she tossed it, who should i spy but a spanish lady, whack fo rthe toora loora lie
and back by napper tandy s house
Over a fire of amber coal, catching a moth in a golden net
