"Dublin City"- sung by Miss Georgina Reid of Collyford, New Deer, married name Mrs. Ironside of Tarriff; collected by Greig about 1908; version F from Greig-Duncan Collection 4.
1. As I went up through Dublin city
It was twelve o'clock at night
There I spied a Spanish lady
Dressing herself by candle light.
CHORUS: Ah na, says the lady,
Ah na, na na,
Ah na, says the lady,
Aye the lady answered Na.
2. Oh, she was a charming beauty,
What she was I do not know,
I will go court her for her beauty,
Whether she be high or low.
CHORUS
