The Longest Johns - Donkey Riding Lyrics

The Longest Johns Lyrics

"Donkey Riding"

Way hey, and away we'll go
Donkey riding, donkey riding
Way hey, and away we'll go
Riding on a donkey

Was you ever in Quebec
Launching timber on the deck
Where you break your bleeding neck
Riding on a donkey

Way hey, and away we'll go
Donkey riding, donkey riding
Way hey, and away we'll go
Riding on a donkey

Was you ever in Timbuktu
Where they'll beat you black and blue
Work is hard, and the drinking too
Riding on a donkey

Way hey, and away we'll go
Donkey riding, donkey riding
Way hey, and away we'll go
Riding on a donkey

Was you ever in Mobile Bay
Screwing cotton all the day
Purser's gonna take half your pay
Riding on a donkey

Way hey, and away we'll go
Donkey riding, donkey riding
Way hey, and away we'll go
Riding on a donkey

Was you ever in London town
Where the gals they do come down
See the king in a golden crown
Riding on a donkey

Way hey, and away we'll go
Donkey riding, donkey riding
Way hey, and away we'll go
Riding on a donkey

Was you ever round Cape Horn
Where the weather's never warm
Wish to Christ you'd never been born
Riding on a donkey

Way hey, and away we'll go
Donkey riding, donkey riding
Way hey, and away we'll go
Riding on a donkey

Way hey, and away we'll go
Donkey riding, donkey riding
Way hey, and away we'll go
Riding on a donkey
