Songtekst onderaan

Live opnamen van 1 mei 1975 van een concert van diverse Ierse artiesten in de Stadthalle in Bad Godesberg (Duitsland). In dit concert komen de verschillende facetten van de Ierse Volksmuziek naar voren. Het spectrum reikt van oude vormen van orale traditieontwikkeling tot moderne geluidsexperimenten. Dit bijt elkaar geenszins. De oudere en jongere muzikanten waarderen elkaars muziek. Dit is ook goed te merken in de eindsessie waarin ze met z’n allen op het podium staan en samen muziek maken.

THE SPANISH LADY

As I walked into Dublin City
At the hour of twelve at night
Who should I spy but a Spanish Lady
Washing her feet by candlelight.
First she washed them then she dried them
Over a fire of amber coal.
And all my life I never did spy
A maid so neat about her soul.

As I walked into Dublin City
At the hour of half past eight
Who should I spy but a Spanish Lady
Combing her hair in broad daylight
First she tossed it then she brushed it
On her lap with a silver comb.
And all my life I never did spy
A maid so fair than I have roamed.

As I walked into Dublin City
When the sun began to set.
Who should I spy but a Spanish Lady
Catching young mods in a golden net.
When she saw me then she fled me
Lifted her petticoat over her knee
And all my life I never did spy
A maid so blight as the Spanish Lady.
