Chorus:
) Oh that farmyard gate,
Johnny was there both early and late,
Whistlin an singin, "Are ye coming out Kate?"
Down by the farmyard gate.
1: Johnny Green he used to wait for his girl,
Down at the farmyard gate
With his hair all set in a nice little curl
Down at the farmyard gate.
He sat on the gate and cried, "Cuckoo!
Are you coming out darling? Do love, do,
For my toes is cold and ma nose is blue,
Down at the farmyard gate."
Oh that farmyard gate,
Johnny was there both early and late,
Whistlin an singin, "Are ye coming out Kate?"
Down by the farmyard gate.
2: Katie would come out and they both would sing,
Down at the farmyard gate,
Then they would talk like a silly thing,
Down at the farmyard gate.
They would sit there for hours and whisper low,
And then hold hands and say, "Ho, ho!"
And the old old gate it would creak and groan,
Down at the farmyard gate.
Oh that farmyard gate,
Johnny was there both early and late,
Whistlin an singin, "Are ye coming out Kate?"
Down by the farmyard gate.
3: Now Katie's young brother, he took some tar,
Down tae the farmyard gate,
And he sprayed it all over the topmost bar,
Down at the farmyard gate.
Now Johnny sat there and he said, "My Duck,"
And Katie sat there and says, "Chuck, chuck,"
And they both sat there for they both had stuck,
Down at the farmyard gate.
Oh that farmyard gate,
Johnny was there both early and late,
Whistlin an singin, "Are ye coming out Kate?"
Down at the farmyard gate.
4: Now this young lovers never speak as they hurry by,
Down at the farmyard gate,
If ye go there ye'll find the reason why,
Down at the farmyard gate.
There are some flounces if you are not blind,
And pieces of cloth ye will also find,
From parts of them both - well, oh never mind!
But it's there at the farmyard gate.
Oh that farmyard gate,
Johnny was there both early and late,
Whistlin an singin, "Are ye coming out Kate?"
Down by the farmyard gate.
