The Dubliners - Easy And Slow lyrics

It was down by Christ Church
That I first met with annie
A neat little girl and 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 down the way Thomas Street
Down to the Liffey the sunlight was gone
And the evening grew dark
Along by Kingsman Bridge
And by God 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

Oh, from 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

And if ever yeґ go, to the town of Dungannon
You can search ґtill your eyeballs
Are empty and blind
Be you lyinґ or walking or sitting or running
A girl like Annie youґll 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
