Donkey Riding



Were you ever in Quebec

Stowin' timber on the deck?

Where there's a king with a golden crown

(where ye'd break yer bleedin' neck)

Riding on a donkey!



cho: Way O and away we go

Donkey riding, donkey riding

Way O and away we go

Riding on a donkey.



Were you ever off the Horn

Where it's always fine and warm?

Where's there's a lion and a unicorn

Riding on a donkey.



cho:

Were you ever in Cardiff Bay

Where the folks all shout, "Hooray!"?

"Here comes Johnny with his six months pay

Riding on a donkey."



cho:



Were you ever in Timbucktoo

Where the gals are black and blue?

And they wriggle their arses, too

Riding on a donkey.



cho:



Were you ever in Vallipo

Where the gals put on a show?

Wriggle their arse with a roll and go

Riding on a donkey.



cho:

Wuz ye ever down Mobile Bay

Screwin' cotton all the day?,

A dollar a day is a white man's pay.

Ridin' on a donkey.



cho:



Wuz ye ever in Canton

Where the men wear pigtails long,

And the gals play hong-ki-kong?

Ridin' on a donkey.

Wuz ye ever in Mirramashee

Where ye tie up to a tree,

An' the skeeters do bite we?

Ridin' on a donkey



cho:

Wuz ye ever on the Broomielaw

Where the Yanks are all the go,

An' the boys dance heel an' toe?

Ridin' on a donkey.





Note: Reportedly, "Donkey" refers to a donkey engine, used for

loading and unloading cargo. A variation on Hieland Laddie, which

often has interchangeable verses. Also see HIELANLD
