Donkey Riding Lyrics

Artist: Great Big Sea
Album: Play

(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

CHORUS

Was you ever in Fortune Bay
See the girls all shout, "Hooray!"?
"Here comes dad with ten weeks pay
Riding on a donkey."

CHORUS

Was you ever in London-town
See the King he does come down?
See the King in his golden crown
Riding on a donkey

CHORUS
