A E A D
the harvest times come , gentle annie ,
A E
and your wild oats are all scattered round the field .
A E A D
youll be anxious to know , gentle annie ,
A E A
how your little crop of oats is going to yield .

chorus
D A
well say farewell , gentle annie ,
E
for you know with you i can no longer stay .
A E A D
yes , ill bid you adieu , gentle annie ,
A E A
till we meet you on another threshing day .

your muttons very sweet , gentle annie ,
and im sure it cant be packed in new south wales ,
but youd better put a fence around the cabbage ,
or theyll all get eaten up by the snails .

chorus

youll take my advice , gentle annie ,
and youd better watch your chappie goin 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 ill bid you adieu , gentle annie ,
till we meet you on another threshing day .
