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
