Текст Great Big Sea – Donkey Riding

Chorus:

Way hey and away we go
Donkey riding, donkey riding
Way hey and away we go

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
