As I went out through Dublin City, at the hour of twelve in the night,
Who should I see but the Spanish Lady washing her feet by candlelight
First she washed them,then she dried them over a fire of amber coals
In all me life I ne'er did see a maid so neat about the soul

Chorus:
Whack fol de tur eh lura ladie
Whack fol de tur eh lura ley
Whack fol de tur eh lura ladie
Whack fol de tur eh lura ley

As I came back through Dublin City at the time of half past eight,
Who should I see but the Spanish Lady,brushing her hair so trim and neat
First she teased it, then she brushed it on her lap was a silver comb
In all me life I ne'er did see, so fair a maid since I did roam.

As I went round old Dublin City, when the sun began to set
Who should I meet but the Spanish lady catching of moth in a golden net.
When she spied me, quick she fled me,lifting her petticoat o'er her knee
In all me life I ne'er did see, a maid so gay as the Spanish Lady

I stopped to look but the watchman passed says he "young fella now the night is late"
Along with you now or I will wrestle you straight way through the Bridewell gate
I threw a kiss to the Spanish lady hot as a fire of angry coal
In all me life I ne'er did see a maid so sweet about the soul

As I went out through Dublin city as the hour of dawn was o'er
Who should I see but the Spanish lady, I was lonely and footsore
First she coaxed me then she chid me, then she laughed at my sad plight
In all me time I ne'er did see a maid so sweet as on that night

I've wandered north, and I have wonder south through Stoneybatter and Patrick's Close
Up and around, by the Gloucester Diamond and round by Napper Tandys' house
Old age has laid her hand on me, cold as a fire of ashey coal....
But, where is the lovely Spanish Lady, neat and sweet about the soul
