^CIn Oleanna land is free ^FThe wheat and co^Crn just plant themselves Th^Gen grow a go^Cod four feet a day Wh^Gile on your bed you re^Cst yourself

^CLittle roasted piggies ^Frush around the ^Ccity streets In^Gquiring so p^Colitely if^G a slice of ham you'd ^Clike to eat

^CThe women there do all the work ^FAs round the fie^Clds they quickly go Ea^Gch one has a^C hickory stick An^Gd beats herself if she^C works too slow

(chorus)

^COle oleanna ^Fole ole^Canna ^GOle ole ^Cole ole ^Gole olea^Cnna
