[Verse 1]
A                  E            A       D
The harvest time’s come, gentle Annie,

         A                                     E
And your wild oats are all scattered round the field.

          A          E            A        D
You’ll be anxious to know, gentle Annie,

         A              E                A
How your little crop of oats is going to yield.
[Chorus]
      D                    A
We’ll say farewell, gentle Annie,

                                      E
For you know with you I can no longer stay.

          A        E            A        D
Yes, I’ll bid you adieu, gentle Annie,

        A            E                A
Till we meet you on another threshing day.
[Verse 2]
A                  E             A       D
Your mutton’s very sweet, gentle Annie,

        A                                    E
And I’m sure it can’t be packed in New South Wales,

          A            E                A        D
But you’d better put a fence around the cabbage,

           A             E         A
Or they’ll all get eaten up by the snails.
[Chorus]
      D                    A
We’ll say farewell, gentle Annie,

                                      E
For you know with you I can no longer stay.

          A        E            A        D
Yes, I’ll bid you adieu, gentle Annie,

        A            E                A
Till we meet you on another threshing day.
[Verse 3]
A                E            A       D
You’ll take my advice, gentle Annie,

          A                                E
And you’d better watch your chappie goin’ away

         A                      A        D
With his packbag flung over his shoulder,

       A                     E               A
And he stole some knives and forks the other day.
[Chorus]
      D                    A
We’ll say farewell, gentle Annie,

                                      E
For you know with you I can no longer stay.

          A        E            A        D
Yes, I’ll bid you adieu, gentle Annie,

        A            E                A
Till we meet you on another threshing day.
[Verse 4]
A                     E             A       D
The bullocks they are yoked, gentle Annie,

        A                             E
For you know with you I can no longer stay.

        A        E            A        D
So I’ll bid you adieu, gentle Annie,

        A            E                A
Till we meet you on another threshing day.
[Chorus]
      D                    A
We’ll say farewell, gentle Annie,

                                      E
For you know with you I can no longer stay.

          A        E            A        D
Yes, I’ll bid you adieu, gentle Annie,

        A            E                A
Till we meet you on another threshing day.
