As I was a-walking through Dublin City

About the hour o' twelve at night

It was there I saw a fair pretty lady

Washing her feet by candlelight
[Verse]

First she washed them and then she dried them
G C
Around her shoulder, she pegged a towel
G Em D
And in all my life I ne'er did see
Em C Em D Em D
Such a fine young lass in all the world

'Round and around, the wheel of fortune

Where it stops wearies me

Oh, the tides do be runnin' the whole world over

But there's the same little fishes that swim and spin
G C
And the same old moon on the cold wet sand
G Em D
And I no more to she, nor she to me
Em C Em D Em D
Than the cool wind passing over my hand
