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 Cape Horn,
Where it's always nice and warm,
Seen the lion and the unicorn,
Riding on a donkey?

Were you ever in Cardiff Bay,
Where the folks all shout 'Hooray!
Here comes John with his three month's pay,
Riding on a donkey?'
