Dubliners, The - Easy And Slow lyrics

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
