The Spanish Lady Song Lyrics And Chords In The Key Of D
[D]As I went down through Dublin City [G]at the[D] hour of[G] twelve at[A] night
[D]Who should I see but a Spanish Lady [G]washing her[D] feet by[G] candle[A]light
[D]First she washed them, then she dried them over a fire of amber[A] coal
In[D] all my life I ne'er did see a[G] maid so[D] sweet[G] about the[A] soles
Chorus
[D]Whack for the tooralooraladdy,[G] whack for the[D] tooraloo[G]ra[A]laY
[D]Whack for the tooralooraladdy,[G] whack for the[D] tooraloo[G]ra[A]lay
As I came back through Dublin City at the hour of half past eight
Who should I spy but the Spanish Lady brushing her hair in the broad daylight,
First she tossed it, then she brushed 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
As I went back through Dublin City as the sun began to set
Who should I spy but the Spanish Lady catching a moth in a golden net,
When she saw me, then she fled me lifting her petticoat over her knees
In all my life I ne'er did see a maid so shy as the Spanish Lady.
Repeat Chorus
I've wandered north and I've wandered south through Stonybatter and Patrick's cloceUp and around by the Gloucester Diamond, and back by Napper Tandy's house
Old age has laid her hand on me, cold as a fire of ashy coals,
In all my life I ne'er did see a maid so sweet as the Spanish Lady.

My Land. Notes from Orla Fallan's Album
In September 2010, 1 set out with a film crew and embarked on a journey around Ireland, re visiting places etched in the corner of my memory lor far too long and re igniting many childhood memories. From the sheer trepidation and marvel of standing and staring at the magnificent Cliffs* of Moher, to fun filled days spent on beaches around Kerry, recollections of rimes past shared with family came flooding back as I journeyed around this wild and wonderful island. As we drove the highways and byways, l was struck by the importance of deep -rootedness and connectivity with one’s land. I was filled with immense pride as my American friends marveled at the beauty and magic of Ireland, which we too often take lor granted. I also reflected on songs that shaped me and a special meaning at different times in my life. This collection of songs really tells my story, with all its highs and lows, dreams, memories and the pride I feel for my country. I hope that as you listen to the music and watch the that the song in your heart will awaken and that you will be inspired to re visit your land, wherever that may be... his project could never have happened without the talent, goodwill and dedication of so many people and I thank you all for the memories.
