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. |
