Easy and Slow Songtext

von 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
