It was down by Christchurch that I first met with Annie
A neat little girl and not a bit shy
She told me her father who come 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 I lifted her petticoat, easy and slow
And I rolled back my sleeve to unbuckle her shoe
Was a tourist down Thomas Street and then out by the Liffey
The sun had gone down, and the evening grew dark
Down by Kings Bridge, and then by Lord 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 rolled back my sleeve to unbuckle her shoe
Now in city or country, a girl is a jewel
And well built for grippin' as most of them are
Ah but any young man would be really a fool
To try it the first time and 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 rolled back my sleeve to unbuckle her shoe
Now if by chance you're in the town of Dungannon
You might search 'til your eyeballs are empty and blind
Be it sittin' or walking or runnin' 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 I lifted her petticoat, easy and slow
And I rolled back my sleeves to unbuckle her shoe
