   G                   Em          C              D               
As I went down through Dublin City at the hour of twelve at night 
G                      Em           C                   D           
Who should I see but a Spanish Lady washing her feet by candlelight 
G                      Em                  G                    D    
First she washed them, then she dried them over a fire of amber coal 
   G             Em              C               D              
In all my life I ne'er did see a maid so sweet a-bout the soles 
       
Chorus 
G                   Em           C                   D         
Whack fol the toora-loora-laddy, whack fol the toora-loora-lay 
G                   Em           C                   D         
Whack fol the toora-loora-laddy, whack fol the toora-loora-lay 
   G                   Em          C              D               
As I came back through Dublin City at the hour of half past eight 
G                        Em           C                        D               
Who should I spy but the Spanish Lady brushing her hair in the broad daylight, 
G                    Em                   G                       D    
First she tossed it, then she brushed it, on her lap was a silver comb 
   G             Em               C                  D           
In all my life I ne'er did see, a maid so fair since I did roam. 
       
Chorus 
G                   Em           C                   D         
Whack fol the toora-loora-laddy, whack fol the toora-loora-lay 
G                   Em           C                   D         
Whack fol the toora-loora-laddy, whack fol the toora-loora-lay 
G                      Em          C                   D   
As I went back through Dublin City as the sun began to set 
G                        Em           C                    D           
Who should I spy but the Spanish Lady catching a moth in a golden net, 
G                Em                G                              D     
When she saw me, then she fled me, lifting her petticoat over her knees 
G                Em              C                  D             
In all my life I ne'er did see a maid so shy as the Spanish Lady.

Whack fol the toora-loora-laddy, whack fol the toora-loora-lay 
G                            Em                     C               D               
I've wandered north and I've wandered south through Stonybatter and Patrick's close 
G                Em                      C              D             
Up around by the Gloucester Diamond, and back by Napper Tandy's house 
            G                            D   G                      D      
(Slow Line) Old age has laid her hand on me, cold as a fire of ashy coals, 
   G             Em              C                    D             
In all my life I ne'er did see a maid so sweet as the Spanish Lady.
