Were you ever in Quebec
Stowing timber on the deck?
Where there's a king with a golden crown
Riding on a donkey.
(Chorus)
Hey, ho! Away we go!
Donkey riding, donkey riding.
Hey, ho! Away we go!
Riding on a donkey.
Were you ever off the Horn
Where it's always fine and warm?
Seeing the lion and unicorn
Riding on a donkey.
(Chorus)
Were you ever in Cardiff Bay?
Where the folks all shout, "Hurray!"
Here comes John with three years' pay
Riding on a donkey.
(Chorus).
