Were you ever in Quebec, Stowing timber on the deck, See the king with the golden crown, Riding on a donkey. CHORUS: Hey, ho, way we go, donkey riding, donkey riding, Hey, ho, way we go, riding on a donkey. Were you ever in Cardiff Bay, Where the natives shout "hurray," Here comes Johnny with three months pay, Riding on a donkey. (chorus) As we sail 'round Cape Horn, Where the climate's always warm, See the lion and the unicorn, Riding on a donkey. (chorus) We'll see the girls with eyes of brown, And drink the best there is in town, We'll eat and sleep on beds of down, Riding on a donkey. (chorus) We'll clew up sail and heave her to, And never sail 'till the pay day's due, We'll sail upon the oceans blue, Riding on a donkey. (chorus) At Oxford Circus we'll take our stand, Among the lords and ladies grand, We'll sing and play with the band, Riding on a donkey. (chorus) My gal I'll dress in ribbons bright, At Garrie's show we'll spend the night, My gal is always quite a sight, Riding on a donkey. (chorus) We'll drink the best he's got in store, When it's gone, we'll call for more, 'Till he shows us out the door, Riding on a donkey.(chorus)
