Subject: Lyr Add: SPANISH LADY (Ni Dhomhnaill & Lunny) From: spanishladdy Date: 18 Oct 04 - 09:04 AM I wrote down this lyric according to the words of people here:) it's for "Maighread & Triona Ni Dhomhnaill & Donal Lunny / Spanish Lady" please kindly help me to check if there is any wrong:)] Spanish Lady As I was a-walking through Dublin City, about the hour of twelve at night It was there i saw a fair pretty female, Washing her feet by candlelight. First she washed them and then she dried them, Over a fire of amber coal And in all my life I never did see a maid so neat about the sole She had twenty eighteen sixteen fourteen Twelve ten eight six four two none She had nineteen seventeen fifteen thirteen Eleven nine seven five three and one! I stopped to look but the watchman passed Says he, "Young fellow, the night is late And along with you home or I will wrestle you Straight away through the Bridewell gate" I got a look from the Spanish lady Hot as the fire of ambry coals And in all my life I never did see A maid so sweet about the soles She had twenty eighteen sixteen fourteen Twelve ten eight six four two none She had nineteen seventeen fifteen thirteen Eleven nine seven five three and one! And as I came back through Dublin City As the down of day was o'er Who should I spy but the Spanish Lady When I was weary and footsore She had a heart so full of loving And her love she longed to share And in all me life I never did meet A maid that had so much to share She had twenty eighteen sixteen fourteen Twelve ten eight six four two none She had nineteen seventeen fifteen thirteen Eleven nine seven five three and one! I've wandered North and I've wandered South From Stoneybatter to Patrick's Close Up and around by the Gloucester Diamond Back by Napper Tandy's house Old age has laid her hands upon me Cold as a fire of ashy coals And gone is the lovely Spanish Lady Neat and sweet about the soles Round and around goes the wheel of fortune Where it rests now wearies me For fair young women are so deceiving Sad experience teaches me. She had twenty eighteen sixteen fourteen Twelve ten eight six four two none She had nineteen seventeen fifteen thirteen Eleven nine seven five three and one! |
