Now the shearing time is over, Bonnie Jess
And the sheep are in the clover, Bonnie Jess
By the creek the cattle are lowing
And the golden crops are growing
While the setting sun is glowing, Bonnie Jess
And a kiss to thee i'm throwing, Bonnie Jess
To thy face the crimson's rushing, Bonnie Jess
Ah! I know why thou are blushing, Bonnie Jess
'Tis the memory appearing
Of the promise in the clearing
When you said twixt hope and fearing, Bonnie Jess
You would wed me after shearing, Bonnie Jess
And now shearing time is over, Bonnie Jess
Thou are looking for thy lover, Bonnie Jess
And my horse's hooves are ringing
As along the road i'm swinging
And a song for thee i'm singing, Bonnie Jess
And the wedding ring i'm bringing, Bonnie Jess
