GREAT BIG SEA
- Donkey Riding Lyrics / with translations[Chorus:]
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!
[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,
An' 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]
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!
[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
An' 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]
