Well, it was down by Christchurch that I first met with Annie A neat little girl and nor a bit shy She told me her father that came from Dungannon Would be 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 As I lifted her petticoat easy and slow And I tied up me sleeve for to buckle her shoe
All along Thomas Street down to the Liffey The sunshine was gone and the eveninh grew dark Along King's Bridge and begod in a jiffey Shure me arms was around her beyond in the park
Chorus
Now, from city or country a girl is a jewel And well build for grippin' the most of them are But if any younf fellow, he's really a fool If he tries at the first time for to go a bit far
Chorus
So if you should go to the down of Dungannon You ma ysearch 'til your eyeballs are empty or blind Be yue lyin' or walkin', be sittin' or runnin' Shure a girl like Annie you never will find
