[Intro]
G
[Chorus]
G Bare legged Kate with your natural grace Am D And your big sad eyes and your Irish face G A poor bush girl when the summer is high Am D G In the bitter days of Gundagai
[Verse]
G Bare legged Kate why do you run Am D Down to the creek in the setting sun? G Go away where the eyes of the world can't see Am D G D But you can't run away from your poverty
[Verse]
G Bare legged Kate, why do you weep Am D When the men drove by with the travelling sheep? G Does the sight of the drover make you sad Am D G D When you think of the father you never had?
[Chorus]
G Bare legged Kate with your natural grace Am D And your big sad eyes and your Irish face G A poor bush girl when the summer is high Am D G In the bitter days of Gundagai
[Verse]
G Oh, it's well you know, there's gold in the hills Am D But you know that the cyanide process kills G Strangles the miners and cuts them down Am D G In their mean little homes in Timber Town
[Verse]
G And it's well you know, when the floods come down Am D It's the poor by the river are the first to drown G Where the wild Murrumbidgee goes roaring by Am D G Through the haunted hills of Gundagai
[Chorus]
G Bare legged Kate with your natural grace Am D And your big sad eyes and your Irish face G A poor bush girl when the winter is nigh Am D G In the barren hills of Gundagai
