The Spanish Lady (2025) lyrics by Frank Harte

Verse 1
As I was awalking through Dublin City, about the hour of twelve at night
It was there I saw a fair pretty female
Washing her feet by candelight
Well first she washed them, and then she dried them
Around her shoulders she pegged a towel
And in all me life I never did meet with a maid so neat 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 brushеd it , then she tossed it
On hеr 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

Chorus

Ive wandered North, and I have wonder South
Through Stoney Barter and Patricks Close
Up and around, by the Gloucester Diamond
And back by Napper Tandys’ house
Auld age has laid her hands on me
Cold as a fire of ashy coals….
But, there is the love of me Spanish Lady, a maid so sweet about the soul
