Halló all, my and my band are singing and playing this song
Easy and slow , and we thought last night about the lyric and the
meaning of the words , like this

A neat little girl and not bit shy ????

All the best Skarpi Iceland.

Complete lyrics:

EASY AND SLOW

'Twas down by Christchurch 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.

And what's it to any man whether or no,
Whether I'm easy or whether I'm true?
As she lifted her petticoats easy and slow,
I tied up my sleeves for to buckle her shoe.

We wandered by Thomas Street down to the Liffey.
The sunshine was gone and the evening grew dark.
Along the Kingsbridge and begod in a jiffy,
Me arms were around her beyond in the park.

From city or country a girl is a jewel,
And well made for gripping the most of them are,
But any young man is he really a fool
If he tries at the first time to go a bit far?

Now if ever you go to the town of Dungannon,
You can search till your eyes are empty or blind.
Be you lying or walking or sitting or running,
A girl like Annie you never will find.

previous history discussion with links to even more...

Skarpi - I've always pictured it as an older or elderly man thinking back on his 'true love' or possibly his first crush as a young man.
