It was down by Christ Church that I first met with Annie<br>
A neat little girl and not a bit shy<br>
She told me her father who came from Dungannon<br>
Would take her back home in the sweet bye and bye<br>
What's that to any man, whether or no<br>
Whether I'm easy, or whether I'm true<br>
As I lifted her petticoat, easy and slow<br>
And I tied up my sleeve for to buckle her shoe<br>
We wandered by Thomas Street, down to the Liffey<br>
The sunlight was gone, and the evening grew dark<br>
Along Whitemans Bridge, and by God in a jiffy<br>
My arm was around her, beyond in the park<br>
In city or country, a girl is a jewel<br>
And well made for gripping, the most of them are<br>
But any young fellow is really a fool<br>
If he tries at the first time to go a bit far<br>
If you chance for to go the town of Dungannon<br>
You can search till your eyes are weary and blind<br>
Be you lying or walking or sitting or running<br>
Another like Annie you never will find<br>
