paroles de chanson Spanish Lady / Holy Ground / Westmeath Bachelor - Nathan Carter



As I came down through Dublin city
At the hour of twelve at night
Who should I see but the Spanish lady
Washing her feet by candle light
First she washed them, then she dried them
Over a fire of amber coal
In all my life I ne′er did see
A maid so sweet about the soul
Whack for the Toora loora laddy
Whack for the Toora loora lay
Whack for the Toora loora laddy
Whack for the Toora loora 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
Whack for the Toora loora laddy
Whack for the Toora loora lay
Whack for the Toora loora laddy
Whack for the Toora loora lay
Fair thee well my lovely Dinah
A thousand times adieu
For we′re going away from the holy ground
And the girls we all love true
We will sail the salt seas over
And then return for sure
And still I live in hope to see
The holy ground once more
Fine girl you are
You're the girl I do adore
And still I live in hope to see
The holy ground once more
I am the Westmeath bachelor and my age is sixty three
I don't intend to marry, or to raise a family
I am happy and contented just to live a single life
Sure that′s the reason why I don′t intend to take a wife
With the red stuff on her fingernails and the varnish on her toes
The raddle on her old face and the whitewash on her nose
She'll get a fancy barber to shave her neck, her head
Sure that′s why I'm a bachelor and I don′t intend to wed
Last Thursday at the market, in the town of Mullingar
A friend he introduced me to a famous movie star
She'd been married several times before to men of every breed
She thought she′d found a sucker in the bachelor from Westmeath
With the red stuff on her fingernails and the varnish on her toes
The raddle on her old face and the whitewash on her nose
She'll get a fancy barber to shave her neck, her head
Sure that's why I′m a bachelor and I don′t intend to wed
Sure that's why I′m a bachelor and I don't intend to wed
