[Verse 1]
N.C
As I came down thru Dublin city at the hour of twelve at night
N.C
Who should I see but a Spanish Lady, washing her feet by candlelight
N.C
First she washed them, then she dried them, over a fire of amber coals
N.C
In all my life I ne'er did see a girl so sweet about the soul
[Chorus]
GWhack for the toora Emloora laddy
AmWhack for the toora Dloora lay
GWhack for the toora Emloora laddy
AmWhack for the toora Dloora lay
[Verse 2]
GAs I came back thru EmDublin city Amat the hour of hDalf past eight
GWho should I see but the SEmpanish lady brAmushing her hair in bDroad daylight
GFirst she brushed it, Emthen she tossed it, Gon her lap was Ama silver coDmb
GIn all my life I nEme'er did see a gAmirl so fair since I dDid roam
