The Spanish Lady

Paddy Reilly

	D	Bm	G	D	Em	A
	As I went down to	Dublin City	At the	hour of	twelve at	night;

	D	Bm	G	D	Em	A
	Who should I see but a	Spanish Lady,	Washing her	feet by	candle	light

	D	A7	D	A7
	First she washed them,	then she dried them	Over a fire of	amber coals

	D	Bm	G	D	Em	A
In	all my life I	never did see a	maid so	sweet a	bout the	soul!

	D	Bm	G	D	Em	A
	As I came back through	Dublin city	at the	hour of	half past	eight;

	D	Bm	G	D	Em	A
	Who should I see but the	Spanish lady,	brushing her	hair in	broad day	light

	D	A7	D	A7
	First she tossed it,	then she combed it	on her lap was a	silver comb

	D	Bm	G	D	Em	A
	In all my life I	never did see a	maid so	fair since	I did	roam!

	D	Bm	G	D	Em	A
	As I went back through	Dublin city	as the	sun be	gan to	set;

	D	Bm	G	D	Em	A
	Who should I see but the	Spanish lady,	catching a	moth in a	golden	net!

	D	A7	D	A7
	When she saw me	then she fled me	lifting her pettycoat	over her knee

	D	Bm	G	D	Em	A
	In all my life I	never did see a	maid so	shy as the	Spanish La	dy!

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!
