***SPANISH LADY - Traditional
from the album "The Crock Of Gold"
Spanish Lady - as perfomed by Shane MacGowan and the Popes
GAs I came down thru EmDublin city Amat the hour of tD7welve at night
GWho should I see but a EmSpanish Lady, Amwashing her feet by D7candlelight
GFirst she washed them Emthen she dried them Gover a fire of Damber coals
GIn all my life I Emne'er did see a Ammaid so sweet D7about the soul
CHORUS:
GWhack for the toora Emloora laddy
AmWhack for the toora D7loora lay
GWhack for the toora Emloora laddy
AmWhack for the torra D7loora lay
As I came back thru Dublin city at the hour of half past eight
Who should I see but the Spanish lady brushing her hair in broadday light
First she tossed it then she combed it on her lap was a silver comb
In all my life I ne'er did see a maid so fair since I did roam
CHO:
As I came back thru Dublin city as the sun began to set
Who should I see but the Spanish lady catching a moth in a golden net
When see saw me then she fled me lifting her pettycoat over her knee
In all my life I ne'er did see a maid so shy as the Spanish Lady
CHO:
I've wandered north and I've wandered south throu stormy batter and Patricks Close
Up and around the by the Glouster Diamond and back by Napper Tandy's house
Old age has laid her hand on me cold as a fire of ashy coals
In all my life I ne'er did see a maid so sweet as the Spanish Lady
