Easy and Slow

Melody -

1. 'Twas down by Christ-church that I first met with Annie,
A neat little girl - and not a bit shy,
She told me her father, who came from Dungannon,
Would take her back home in the sweet by and by.
Refrain:

2. We wandered by Thomas Street, down to the Liffey.
The sunshine was gone and the evening grew dark.
Along by Kingsbridge and begod in a jifty
Me arms were around her beyond in the park.
Refrain:
  3. From city or country a girl is a jewel.
And well made for gripping the most of them are.
But any young man he is really a fool.
If he tries at the first time to go a bit far.
Refrain:

4. Now if you should go to the town of Dungannon,
You can search till your eyes are weary of blind.
Be you lying or walking or sitting or running,
A girl like Annie, you never will find.
Refrain:

Refrain:
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 tied up my sleeve for to buckle her shoe.
