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

Was you ever in Quebec
Launching timber on the deck
Where ya break your bleeding neck
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
Way, hey and away we go
riding on a donkey

Was you ever in Miramichi
Where we lie up to a tree
And the girls sit on yer knee
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 Fortune Bay
Where the girls all shout "Hooray" [bad word] Dad with ten weeks 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 London town
See the King he [bad word] down
See the King in his golden crown
riding on a donkey

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