You'll be anxious to know, gentle Annie, How your little crop of oats is going to yield. C G / G D7 / G D7 G C / G D7 G We'll say farewell, gentle Annie, For you know with you I can no longer stay. Yes, I'll bid you adieu, gentle Annie, Till we meet you on another threshing day. Your mutton's very sweet, gentle Annie, And I'm sure it can't be packed in New South Wales, But you'd better put a fence around the cabbage, Or they'll all get eaten up by the snails. CHORUS You'll take my advice, gentle Annie, And you'd 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 I'll bid you adieu, gentle Annie, Till we meet you on another threshing day. CHORUS ----------------------------------------------------------------- The original song, "Gentle Annie," seems to have been written by Stephen Foster in 1856. Like many good songs, it found it way to Australia, where it took on local references and, perhaps, a more ambiguously sensual flavor. This version appeared in print in Vol. I, no.e, (1964) of Australian Tradition, and was recorded by Martyn Wyndham-Road. Thence via Joe Hickerson to Ed Trickett to me. Recorded on Side 2 Band 4 of "Turning Toward the Morning" @Australia filename[ GENTLANN DC ===DOCUMENT BOUNDARY Related Lyrics Random lyrics: God Rest Ye Marry Gentlemen, Goober Peas, Good Ale, Good Boy, Good Christian Men Rejoice, Good Fish Chowder, Good King Wenceslas, Good Luck To The Barley Mow, Good Night Irene, Good Night Irene Parody, Good Old Jeff, Good Old Mountain Dew, Good Peanuts, Good People, Good Ship Venus, Goodby To The Thirty Foot Trailer, Goodbye Fare Ye Well, Goodbye Old Paint, Goodbye Song, Goodnight Stars, Goodnight Moon, Goodnightloving Trail, Gooey Duck Song, Gory Gory, Gospel Boat, Gospel Changes, Government On Horseback, Gower Wassail, Gpu, Grafted Into The Army, Grandfathers Clock, Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer, Grapes On The Vine, Great Green Gobs, Great Mandela, Great Storm Is Over, Greece Anthem Text, Greece Native Anthem Text, Green Back Dollar, Green Brier Shore, Green Broom, Green Bushes, Green Green Its Green They Say, Green Grow The Lilacs, Green Grow The Rashes O, Green Mountain, Green Valley, Greenback Dollar, Greenbergs, Greenland Fisheries, Greenland Monopole, Other Unknown song Lyrics 99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall Lyrics A Bird in a Gilded Cage Lyrics A Fenian Song Lyrics A Fool Such As I Lyrics A Friend Like You Lyrics A Hero of the Wrong War Lyrics A Horse Named Bill Lyrics A Hundred Years from Now Lyrics A Kangaroo Sat on an Oak Lyrics A Little Bit of Solitude Lyrics A Living Wage Lyrics ...Show All Other Artists Unknown Prophets Lyrics Unleashed Lyrics Unleashed Power Lyrics Unlimited Nation Lyrics Unlimited Sound Lyrics UNLOCO Lyrics Unlord Lyrics UNLV Lyrics Unni Wilhelmsen Lyrics Uno Svenningsson Lyrics All lyrics are property and copyright of their owners and are strictly for educational purposes only. lyricstrue.net Copyright © 2005-2007 All Rights Reserved., , Privacy policy
