Lyrics

(Traditional - arr. gbs)

Chorus: way hey and away we go
Donkey ridin', donkey ridin'
Way hey and away we go
Riding on a donkey

Was you ever in quebec
Launching timber on the deck?
Where ya break yer bleedin' neck
Ridin' on a donkey!

Chorus

Was you ever 'round cape horn
Where the weather's never warm?
Wished to god you'd never been born
Ridin' on a donkey

Chorus

Was you ever in miramichi
Where ye tie up to a tree
Have the girls sit on yer knee?
Ridin' on a donkey

~Music break~

Was you ever in fortune bay
See hear the girls all shout, "hooray!"?
"Here comes dad with ten months pay
Ridin' on a donkey."

Chorus

Was you ever in london town
See the king he does come down?
See the king in his golden crown
Ridin' on a donkey

Chorus(x2)
