Ah, this is a-a Dublin song also
It was down by Christ Church that I first met our Annie
A native girl and not a bit shy
She told me her father that came from Dungannon
Would take her back home in the sweet by and by
And what′s it 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, down along Thomas Street, down to the Liffey
The sunshine was gone and the evening grew dark
Along by Kings Bridge and by God in a jiffy
My arms were around her beyond in the park
And what's it 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, her girdle they′ll duеl
And well known for gripping the most of thе mar
Ah, but any young fella, he's really a fool
If he tries it the first time for to go a bit far
And what′s it 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 you go to the town of Dungannon
You can search till your eyeballs are empty and blind
Be you lying or walking or sitting or running
A girl like Annie you never will find
And what's it 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
