Easy And Slow - Jim McCann

It 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 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

If ever you go to the town of Dungannon, you may search til your eyes,

they are empty and blind

Be walking or running, be sittin or standing,

A girl like Annie, you never will find

Down along Thomas Street, down to the Liffey

The sunshine was gone, and the evening grew dark

Along be KingsBridge, and by God in a jiffy

My arm was around her, beyond in the park
