***SPANISH LADY - Traditional
from the album "The Crock Of Gold"
Spanish Lady - as perfomed by Shane MacGowan and the Popes
CAs I came down thru DmDublin city Dmat the hour of tG7welve at night
CWho should I see but a DmSpanish Lady, Dmwashing her feet by G7candlelight
CFirst she washed them Dmthen she dried them Cover a fire of Gamber coals
CIn all my life I Dmne'er did see a Dmmaid so sweet G7about the soul
CHORUS:
CWhack for the toora Dmloora laddy
DmWhack for the toora G7loora lay
CWhack for the toora Dmloora laddy
DmWhack for the torra G7loora 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
