[Chorus]
Oh, whack fol the toora loora laddie,
Whack fol the toora loora lay,
Whack fol the toora loora laddie,
Whack fol the toora loora lay.

[Verse]
As I came back through Dublin city,
At the hour of twelve at night,
Who should I spy but the Spanish lady,
Washing her hair in candlelight,
First she washed them, it then she tossed it,
On her lap was a silver comb
In all my life I ne'er did see,
A maid so neat about the soul,

[Chorus]
Whack fol the toora loora laddie,
Whack fol the toora loora lay,
Whack fol the toora loora laddie,
Whack fol the toora loora lay.

[Verse]
As I returned to Dublin City,
As the sun began to set
Who should I spy but a Spanish lady
Washing her hair in the golden net
First she washed them, it then she tossed it,
Over a fire of amber coals
In all my life I ne'er did see,
A maid so sweet as the Spanish lady.

[Chorus]
Whack fol the toora loora laddie,
Whack fol the toora loora lay,
Whack fol the toora loora laddie,
Whack fol the toora loora lay.

[Chorus]
Whack fol the toora loora laddie,
Whack fol the toora loora lay,
Whack fol the toora loora laddie,
Whack fol the toora loora lay.

[Verse]
For I've wandered north and I've wandered south,
Through Stoneybatter and Patrick's Close,
Up and around by the Gloucester Diamond,
And back by Napper Tandy's house,
Old age has laid her hands on me,
And as cold as a fire of ashey coal,
In all my life I ne'er did see,
A maid so sweet as the Spanish lady.

[Chorus]
Whack fol the toora loora laddie,
Whack fol the toora loora lay,
Whack fol the toora loora laddie,
Whack fol the toora loora lay.

[Chorus]
Whack fol the toora loora laddie,
Whack fol the toora loora lay,
Whack fol the toora loora laddie,
Whack fol the toora loora lay.

[Chorus]
Whack fol the toora loora laddie,
Whack fol the toora loora lay,
Whack fol the toora loora laddie,
Whack fol the toora loora lay.
