Ah !! My Grandfather ,The Sea Captain , loved this Song !! Used to sing this Song to us from Ship to Shore when my Twin Sister & I were little !! Then say , Scamper off to Bed , my Darlings !! Ah !!WE KNEW HE WANTED TO TALK TO OUR GRANDMOTHER !!, without our little ears listening ) !! Great Song , Great Memories..
As I went down to Dublin city, At the hour of twelve at night, Who should I see but a Spanish lady, Washing her feet by candlelight. Lady I've come to court-you, New York in favor's 'bout to win And if you'll smile upon me Sunday night I'll call again [Chorus:] Whack fol the toora, toora laddy Whack fol the foora loora lay Lady I have a gold and silver Lady I have a house and land I've ships on the ocean I'll be... Whack fol the toora, toora laddy Whack fol the foora loora lay My Captain is a boatsy captain, Spain is known across the sea The Captain... Don't you come away with me Well I don't need your father's fortune Fame is nothing much to me I've surfed the world from Antrim land With a pettycoat high above my knee Whack fol the toora, toora laddy Whack fol the foora loora lay

Not the lyrics I'm accustomed to, but damn does those instruments make you want to get up and dance!

One of my favorite Songs back when i was a child
As I went down to Dublin city,
At the hour of twelve at night,
Who should I see but a Spanish lady,
Washing her feet by candlelight.
Lady I've come to court-you, New York in favor's 'bout to win
And if you'll smile upon me
Sunday night I'll call again
[Chorus:]
Whack fol the toora, toora laddy
Whack fol the foora loora lay
Lady I have a gold and silver
Lady I have a house and land
I've ships on the ocean
I'll be...
Whack fol the toora, toora laddy
Whack fol the foora loora lay
My Captain is a boatsy captain,
Spain is known across the sea
The Captain...
Don't you come away with me
Well I don't need your father's fortune
Fame is nothing much to me
I've surfed the world from Antrim land
With a pettycoat high above my knee
Whack fol the toora, toora laddy
Whack fol the foora loora lay
Personally I find the Dubliners do a better job. Buy these are the Lyrics used by the Irish Rovers.
Tis a good song now lol yer woman sure speaks the truth in it
AWESOME!!!
This is like, the 4th version of this song I've listened to today. How many different versions does this song have?!
Well, it is a folk song, so likely a few hundred, maybe only a dozen recorded.
At least 4 I know of. Probably more.
Thanks for sharing; Jesus Christ Bless! :)
