At the hour of twelve o´clock at night
Who should
I see but a Spanish lady
Washing her feet by candle light
First she washed them and
then she dried them
Over a fire of ambry coals
In all my life I never did see
A
maid so sweet about the soles
Whack fol the toor a loor a laddy
Whack fol the
toor a loor a lay
Whack fol the toor a loor a laddy
Whack fol the toor a loor a lay
I stopped to look but the watchman passed
Says he, "Young fellow, the night is
late
Along with you home or I will wrestle you
Straight away through the Bridewell
gate"
I threw a look to the Spanish lady
Hot as the fire of ambry coals
In all
my life I never did see
A maid so sweet about the soles
As I walked back
through Dublin City
As the dawn of day was o´er
Who should I see but the Spanish
lady
When I was weary and footsore
She had a heart so filled with loving
And
her love she longed to share
In all my life I never did see
A maid who had so much to
spare
Now she´s no mot for a puddle swaddy
With her ivory comb and her mantle so
fine
But she´d make a wife for the Provost Marshall
Drunk on brandy and claret wine
I got a look from the Spanish lady
Hot as a fire of ambry coals
In all my life
I never did meet
A maid so sweet about the soles
I´ve wandered north and
I´ve wandered south
By Stoney Batter and Patrick´s Close
Up and around by the
Gloucester Diamond
And back by Napper Tandy´s house
Old age has laid her hands upon
me
Cold as a fire of ashy coals
But where is the lonely Spanish lady
Neat and
sweet about the soles?
As I was leaving Dublin City
On that morning sad of heart
Lonely was I for the Spanish lady
Now that forever we must part
But still I
always will remember
All the hours we did enjoy
But then she left me sad at parting
Gone forever was my joy | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
