Dubliners, The - Spanish Lady Lyrics
As I came down through Dublin City, at the hour of twelve at night,
Who should I spy, but a Spanish Lady
Washing her feet by the candlelight
First she washed them, then she dried them
Over a fire of amber coals
[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 brushed it, then she tossed it
On her lap was a silver comb
[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
[Chorus x2]

Dubliners, The Spanish Lady Comments
I noticed that the second and third verses are different than on some other versions I've listen to. Would anyone might typing out the lyrics to the 2nd and 3rd for me? I can't quite make out what he's saying, but I want to learn this version, too.
Play at 1.25x with your eyes closed
God Bless Ireland from your Spanish fellow country men
Saw Sean Cannon with the dublin legends last year in Hannover. He still got it.
God Bless Ireland: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QHipiPDG3ek
2:07 Two beauties who know good music...
One on the right is a Goddess...
Another great old toon, one that had made it into the Australian folk scene back in the 70s and 80s when I was last working down that way...
As an irish man, I can now see how some people dont understand us now.....
😂😂😂
Known as the Spanish Lady, cause she was from FRANCE
Rory McKernan thought she was from Nova Scotia
Robert Dentremont love it. 😂, after he said it, I bet he’s thinking “did I really just say that.
So who, in this video, is part of the original Dubliners? Luke Kelly and Ronnie Drew are obviously not here.
Mercury Lincoln Barney, the guy on banjo (since deceased) and John Sheahan on fiddle. Lead singer joined in early 80's I think around the same time as Mr. Campbell on guitar.
That's the definition of music!
RIP to all the Dublin legends, who are in heaven now.
The lyrics here seem different from the ones for this song elsewhere online. Can someone please link to these lyrics?
Ultimate foot tapping song ! Cannot be helped
The only foot fetish song in history lol
Elondil Valenmir to right
Dude, check out "Down by the Sally Gardens" talking about the woman's little snow-white feet.
I think the Irish just like feet or something... :)
Damn right :D
Superb!
sean cannon is great a close second to luke
Ronnie is underrated.
Shout-out to George R R Martin on the banjo...
With captain Barbossa on the mic!
Joe McCarthy hahahaahahahahahhahqhqh 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Imho Barney McKenna was a way better person than G.R.R. Martin
Solaire of Astora oh yes, I can tell you my uncle Barney was much better person than G.R.R. Martin
On one hand, that's blasphemy! On the other hand, that's hilarious lol. XD
I've been in many places, but never met friendly people as I found in Ireland. I've been there for 1 year, from Dublin to the north, irish people are the same: lovely people, friendly. I would like to come back! Ireland is in my heart. Love always!!!
