G Em As I went down through Dublin City C G Am D7 At the hour of twelve at night G Em Who should I see but a Spanish lady C G Am D7 Washing her feet by candlelight G C First she washed them, then she dried them G D7 Over a fire of ambery coals G Em In all my life I ne'er did see C G Am D7 A maid so neat about the soles
[Chorus]
G Em Whack for the too-ra loo-ra laddy C G Am D7 Whack for the too-ra loo-ra lay G Em Whack for the too-ra loo-ra laddy C G Am D7 Whack for the too-ra loo-ra lay G Em As I went back through Dublin city C G Am D7 At the hour of half-past eight G Em Who should I see but the Spanish Lady C G Am D7 Brushing her hair outside the gate G C First she brushed it, then she combed it G D7 On her lap was a silver comb. G Em In all my life I ne’er did see C G Am D7 A maid so fair since I did roam.
[Chorus]
G Em Whack for the too-ra loo-ra laddy C G Am D7 Whack for the too-ra loo-ra lay G Em Whack for the too-ra loo-ra laddy C G Am D7 Whack for the too-ra loo-ra lay G Em I stopped to look but the Watchman passed C G Am D7 Says he “Young fellah, the night is late G Em Along with ye home or I will wrestle you C G Am D7 Straight back through the Bridewell gate” G C I threw a kiss to the Spanish lady G D7 Hot as a fire of ambery coal G Em In all my life I ne’er did see C G Am D7 A maid so sweet about the sole.
[Chorus]
G Em Whack for the too-ra loo-ra laddy C G Am D7 Whack for the too-ra loo-ra lay G Em Whack for the too-ra loo-ra laddy C G Am D7 Whack for the too-ra loo-ra lay G Em As I came back through Dublin city C G Am D7 As the sun began to set G Em Who should I see but the Spanish Lady C G Am D7 Catching a moth in a golden net. G C When she saw me quick she fled me G D7 Lifting her petticoat over her knee G Em In all my life I ne’er did see C G Am D7 A maid so shy as the Spanish Lady.
[Chorus]
G Em Whack for the too-ra loo-ra laddy C G Am D7 Whack for the too-ra loo-ra lay G Em Whack for the too-ra loo-ra laddy C G Am D7 Whack for the too-ra loo-ra lay G Em I’ve wandered north and I’ve wandered south C G Am D7 By Stoneybatter and Patrick’s Close G Em Up and around by the Gloucester Diamond C G Am D7 And back by Napper Tandy’s house. G C Old age has laid her hand on me G D7 Cold as a fire of ashy coals G Em But where is the lovely Spanish Lady, C G Am D7 Neat and sweet about the soul?
[Chorus]
G Em Whack for the too-ra loo-ra laddy C G Am D7 Whack for the too-ra loo-ra lay G Em Whack for the too-ra loo-ra laddy C G Am D7 Whack for the too-ra loo-ra lay
