Great Big Sea - Donkey Riding lyrics

rate me

Way hey and away we go

Donkey riding, donkey riding

Way hey and away we go

Ridin' on a donkey.

Was you ever in Quebec

Launchin' timber on the deck?

Where ya break yer bleedin' neck

Ridin' on a donkey!

Was you ever 'round Cape Horn

Where the weather's never warm?

Wished to God you'd never been born

Ridin' on a donkey.

Was you ever in Miramichi

Where ye tie up to a tree,

An' the girls sit on yer knee?

Ridin' on a donkey

Was you ever in Fortune Bay

See the girls all shout, "Hooray!"?

"Here comes dad with ten weeks pay

Riding on a donkey."

Was you ever in London-town

See the King he does come down?

See the King in his golden crown

Riding on a donkey
