[G] [A] [B] It [A] was down by Christchurch [F#] that I [A] first met with Annie,
An eight little girl [E] and not a bit shy.
[A] She told me her father, [F#m] that came [A] from Dungannon,
Would take her back [E] home in [A] the sweet by-and-by.
[D] And what's [A] it to Annie, man, whether or [D] no,
Whether I'm [A] eighty or whether [Em] I'm through?
[D] As I lifted [A] up Annie called eighty and slow,
And I tied up me sleeve, [E] or to [A] buckle her shoe.
Down along [F#m] Thomas Street, [A] down by the lippy,
The sunshine was [F#m] gone and the [E] evening grew dark.
[A] Along me King's Bridge [F#m] and me [A] Gobbinette Gippy,
Me arms were [E] around her [A] beyond in the park.
And [D] what's it to [A] Annie, man, whether or no,
[D] [A] Whether I'm eighty [E] or whether I'm through?
[D]
As I lifted up [A] Annie called eighty and slow,
And I tied up me sleeve, or to buckle her shoe.
From city [F#m] or country a girl [A] is a jewel,
And well known [F#m] for grippin' [E] the most of them are.
[A] But Annie, young fella, he's really a fool,
If he tries it the first time for to go a bit far.
And [D] what's it to Annie, [A] man, whether or no,
[D] [A] Whether I'm eighty [E] or whether I'm through?
[D] As I lifted up [A] Annie called eighty and slow,
And I tied up me sleeve, or to buckle her shoe.
I strolled with this fine [F#m] maid [A] far out in the country,
The blossoms around [F#m] us all [E] crying for dew.
[A] On a violet pad [F#m] bench sure I sat down [A] beside her,
And tied up me sleeve, or to buckle her shoe.
[D] And what's [A] it to Annie, man, whether or no,
[D] If I [A] came to the fore [E] when she gave me the cue?
[D] She closed her eyes tightly [A] as she murmured full and low,
Be good enough, dear, for to buckle my shoe.
On the heathery [F#m] hills were [A] all dancing around us,
False things in the [F#m] world turned [E] out to be true.
[A] When she put her arms round [F#m] me [A] and kissed me and murmured,
You've neatly and tenderly [E] tied up [A] my shoe.
[D] And what's it [A] to Annie, man, whether or no,
[D] If I ventured quite [A] gamely to see the [E] thing through?
[D] When she lifted [A] her petticoat, silent and slow,
And I tied up me sleeve, [E] or to [A] buckle her shoe.
[N]
