Gaelic Storm - Herding Cats

Spanish Lady

Hey, hey-hey-hey
Hey-hey-hey
Hey-hey-hey
Hey-hey-hey
Hey-hey-hey
Hey-hey-hey
Hey-hey-hey

As I came in through Dublin City
At the hour of twelve at night
Who should invite this Spanish lady
Washing feet by the candlelight
First she washed them, then she dried them
Over a fire of amber coal

And all my life I ne'er did see a mate so sweet about the soul
Whack fol de toora, loora laddie
Whack fol de toora, loora lay
Whack fol de toora, loora laddie
Whack fol de toora, loora lay, hey-hey-hey

As I came back through Dublin city
At the hour of half past eight
Who should I spy but a Spanish lady
Brushing her hair by the garden gate
First she tossed it, then she brushed it
On her lap was a silver comb
And all my life I ne'er did see
A maid so fierce inside in Rome

Whack fol de toora, loora laddie
Whack fol de toora, loora lay
Whack fol de toora, loora laddie
Whack fol de toora, loora lay, hey-heh-hey

As I went back through Dublin City
As the sun began to set
Who should I fight but the Spanish lady
Catching him up in a golden net
When she saw me then she fled me
Lifting her pretty coat to her knee

In all my life I ne'er to see a mate so sweet as that lady
Whack fol de toora, loora laddie
Whack fol de toora, loora lay
Whack fol de toora, loora laddie
Whack fol de toora, loora laddie

Hey, hey-hey-hey
Hey-hey-hey
Hey-hey-hey
Hey-hey-hey
Hey-hey-hey
Hey-hey-hey
Hey-hey-hey

I've wandered north and I've wandered south
Through stony batter and Patrick's close
The Gloucester diamond and back by Nebert and his house
Oh, they just set a hand on me
Cold as the fire of flashy coals
And all my life I'm dead It's you you made so sweet
This is my plea

Whack fol de toora, loora laddie
Whack fol de toora, loora lay
Whack fol de toora, loora laddie
Whack fol de toora, loora laddie
Whack fol de toora, loora laddie
Whack fol de toora, loora lay
Whack fol de toora, loora laddie
Whack fol de toora, loora laddie

Hey-hey-hey
Hey-hey-hey
Hey-hey-hey
Hey-hey-hey
Hey-hey-hey
Hey-hey-hey
Hey-hey-hey
Hey-hey-hey

Whack fol de toora, loora laddie
Whack fol de toora, loora lay
Whack fol de toora, loora laddie
Whack fol de toora, loora lay
Whack fol de toora, loora laddie
Whack fol de toora, loora lay
Whack fol de toora, loora laddie
Whack fol de toora, loora lay
Whack fol de toora, loora laddie
Whack for de toora, loora laddie

Hey-hey-hey
Hey-hey-hey
Hey-hey-hey
Hey-hey-hey
Hey-hey-hey
Hey-hey-hey
