Donkey Riding Songtext
von Fisherman's Friends

Was you ever in Quebec
Stowing timber on the deck
Where you can break your bleeding neck
Riding on a donkey

Way, hey and away we go
Donkey riding, donkey riding
Way, hey and away we go
Riding on a donkey

Was you ever ′round Cape Horn
Where the weather's never warm
Wished to God you′d never been born
Riding on a donkey

Way, hey and away we go
Donkey riding, donkey riding (yee-haw)
Way, hey and away we go
Riding on a donkey


Was you ever in Fortune Bay
Where the girls all shout "Hooray"
Here comes Johnny with his six months pay
Riding on a donkey

Way, hey and away we go
Donkey riding, donkey riding
Way, hey and away we go
Riding on a donkey

Was you ever in Rilafoe
Where the girls put on a show
Shake their asses, little roll and go
Riding on a donkey

Way, hey and away we go
Donkey riding, donkey riding (yee-haw)
Way, hey and away we go
Riding on a donkey

Was you ever in Malbec beach
Brewing patter on a day
Dawn at day is a white man's bay
Riding on a donkey


Way, hey and away we go
Donkey riding, donkey riding
Way, hey and away we go
Riding on a donkey

I'll tell me ma when I go home
The boys won′t leave the girls alone
They pulled my hair, they stole my comb
But that′s alright, 'til I go home

She is hot and she is pretty
She is a girl I′ve never seen
She is a golden one, two, three
Please, won't you tell me who is she?

Was you ever in Miramichi
Where they tie us to a tree
And then sees a dirt like me
Riding on a donkey

Way, hey and away we go
Donkey riding, donkey riding (yee-haw)
Way, hey and away we go
Riding on a donkey

Was you ever in London town
See the queen she still come down
For 60 years she worn her crown
Riding on a donkey

Way, hey and away we go
Donkey riding, donkey riding (yee-haw)
Way, hey and away we go
Riding on a donkey

Way, hey and away we go
Donkey riding, donkey riding (yee-haw)
Way, hey and away we go
Riding on a donkey
