Great Big Sea – Donkey Riding

(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)
