I've got the first two stanzas and they go like this:
As I walked out through Belfast City
First she washed them and then she squeezed them Sla/n! cleod |

Its a version of "Spanish Lady", of which there are a few versions in the DT. Sounds like one Frank Harte does as "Chester City", with Kevin localising it elsewhere as the humour/occasion strikes.
