Gentle Annie
Traditional
The harvest timeâs come, gentle Annie,
And your wild oats are all scattered round the field.
Youâll be anxious to know, gentle Annie,
How your little crop of oats is going to yield.
CHORUS
Weâll say farewell, gentle Annie,
For you know with you I can no longer stay.
Yes, Iâll bid you adieu, gentle Annie,
Till we meet you on another threshing day.
Your muttonâs very sweet, gentle Annie,
And Iâm sure it canât be packed in New South Wales,
But youâd better put a fence around the cabbage,
Or theyâll all get eaten up by the snails.
Chorus
Youâll take my advice, gentle Annie,
And youâd better watch your chappie goinâ away
With his packbag flung over his shoulder,
And he stole some knives and forks the other day.
Chorus
The bullocks they are yoked, gentle Annie,
For you know with you I can no longer stay.
So Iâll bid you adieu, gentle Annie,
Till we meet you on another threshing day.
Chorus
