Easy and Slow Lyrics by Dominic Behan

Down by the Liffeyside

0

[Verse 1]
'Twas down by Christchurch 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
[Chorus]
And what's it to any man whether or no'
Whether I'm easy or whether I'm true?
When I lifted her petticoat, easy and slow
And I tied up me sleeve for to buckle her shoe
[Verse 2]
From city or country, a girl is a jewel
And well built for grippin', the most of them are
But any young fella is really a fool
If he tries at the first time, to go a bit far
[Chorus]
But what's it to any man whether or no'
Whether I'm easy or whether I'm true?
When I lifted her petticoat, easy and slow
And I tied up me sleeve for to buckle her shoe
[Verse 3]
We wandered by Thomas Street, down to the Liffey
The evening was gone, and the evening grew dark
Along by King's Bridge, and begod in a jiffy
Me arm was around her, beyond in the park
[Chorus]
And what's it to any man whether or no'
Whether I'm easy or whether I'm true?
When I lifted her petticoat, easy and slow
And I tied up me sleeve for to buckle her shoe
[Verse 4]
Now if you should go to the town of Dungannon
Search 'til your eyeballs are empty or blind
Be a trottin', or walkin', or sittin' or stan'in'
A girl like Annie you never will find
[Chorus]
But what's it to any man whether or no'
Whether I'm easy or whether I'm true?
When I lifted her petticoat, easy and slow
And I tied up me sleeve for to buckle her shoe
