As I came down thru Dublin city – at the hour of twelve at night

Who should I see but a Spanish Lady – Washing her feet by the candlelight

First she washed them then she dried them over a fire of amber coals

In all my life I ne’er did see a maid so sweet about the soul

Flötenintro (beginnend mit H)
As I came back thru Dublin city – at the hour of half past eight
Who should I see but the Spanish lady – brushing her hair in broad daylight
First she tossed it then she combed it – on her lap was a silver comb
In all my life I ne’er did see a maid so fair since I did roam
Chorus + 1 Takt
As I came back thru Dublin city – as the sun began to set
Who should I see but the Spanish lady – catching a moth in a golden net
When see saw me then she fled me lifting her coat over her knee
In all my life I ne’er did see a maid so shy as the Spanish Lady
Chorus + 1 Takt
I’ve wandered north and I’ve wandered south throu stormy batter and Patricks Close
Up and around by the Glouster Diamond and back by Napper Tandy’s house
langsam— Old_ age_has_laid_her_hand_right_on_me — cold as a fire of ashy coals
In all my life I ne’er did see – a maid so sweet with the Spanish L. a. d. y
