It was down by Christ Church that I first met with Annie
A gentle young maiden but not a bit shy
She told me her father had come from Dungannon
And would take her back home in the sweet bye and bye
And what's that to any man, whether or no
Whether I'm easy, or whether I'm true
As I lifted her petticoat, easy and slow
And I tied up my sleeve for to buckle her shoe
All along Thomas Street, down to the Liffey
The sunlight was gone, and the evening grew dark
Down by kings bridge Bridge, and beGod in a jiffy
My arms were around her, beyond in the park
And what's that to any man, whether or no
Whether I'm easy, or whether I'm true
As I lifted her petticoat, easy and slow
And I tied up my sleeve for to buckle her shoe
In city city or country, a girl is a jewel
And well made for grippin', the most of the while
But any young fellow is really a fool
If he tries at the first time to go a bit far
And what's that to any man, whether or no
Whether I'm easy, or whether I'm true
As I lifted her petticoat, easy and slow
And I tied up my sleeve for to buckle her shoe
so if ever you go, to the town of Dungannon
You can search till your eyeballs are empty and blind
Be you sitting or walking or running
A girl like my Annie you never find
And what's that to any man, whether or no
Whether I'm easy, or whether I'm true
As I lifted her petticoat, easy and slow
And I tied up my sleeve for to buckle her shoe
A gentle young maiden but not a bit shy
She told me her father had come from Dungannon
And would take her back home in the sweet bye and bye
And what's that to any man, whether or no
Whether I'm easy, or whether I'm true
As I lifted her petticoat, easy and slow
And I tied up my sleeve for to buckle her shoe
All along Thomas Street, down to the Liffey
The sunlight was gone, and the evening grew dark
Down by kings bridge Bridge, and beGod in a jiffy

And what's that to any man, whether or no
Whether I'm easy, or whether I'm true
As I lifted her petticoat, easy and slow
And I tied up my sleeve for to buckle her shoe
In city city or country, a girl is a jewel
And well made for grippin', the most of the while
But any young fellow is really a fool
If he tries at the first time to go a bit far
