CAMPSONG DONKEY RIDING

WERE YOU EVER IN QUEBEC, STOWING TIMBER ON THE DECK,
WHERE THERE'S A KING WITH A GOLDEN CROWN, RIDING ON A DONKEY.
CHORUS: HAY HO AND AWAY WE GO, DONKEY RIDING, DONKEY RIDING,
HAY HO AND AWAY WE GO, RIDING ON A DONKEY.
WERE YOU EVER OFF THE HORN, WHERE IT'S ALWAYS NICE AND WARM,
CHORUS.
WERE YOU EVER IN CARTER'S BAY, WHERE THE FOLKS ALL SHOUT HOORAY,
HERE COMES JOHNNY WITH THREE MONTHS PAY, RIDING ON A DONKEY,
CHORUS.
