T'was down by Christchurch, That I first met with Annie
A gentle young maiden, And not a bit shy
She told me her daddy, Who came from Dungannon
Would take her back home, In the sweet bye and bye
And what's it to any man, Whether or no
Whether I'm easy, Or whether I'm true
As she lifted her petticoat, Easy and slow
And I tied up my sleeve, For to buckle her shoe
If ever you go, To the town of Dungannon
You may search 'Till your eyes, They are empty and blind
Be ya walkin' or runnin, Or sittin' or standin'
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 she lifted her petticoat, Easy and slow
And I tied up my sleeve, For to buckle her shoe
Down along Thomas Street, Down to the Liffy
The sunshine was gone, And the evening grew dark
Along by King's Bridge, And b'God in a jiffy
Me 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 she lifted her petticoat, Easy and slow
And I tied up my sleeve, For to buckle her shoe
