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

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.
Thanks for sharing; Jesus Christ Bless! :)
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.
