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 j**el 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
