(kids' version)

Words & Music:

I know there are hand motions to this.  Can anyone send them along?

Were you ever in Quebec, stowing timber on the deck?

Where there's a king with a golden crown, riding on a donkey.

 

CHORUS:

F     C      F     C

Hey!  Ho!  Away we go!

Donkey riding, donkey riding.

F     C      F     C

Hey!  Ho!  Away we go!

G           C

Riding on a donkey!

 

Were you ever off the Horn

Where it's always fine and warm?

Seen the Lion and the Unicorn

Riding on a Donkey.

 

CHORUS:

 

Were you ever in Cardiff Bay,

Where the folks all shout, "Hooray!"

Here comes John with his three months' pay

Riding on a donkey.

Were you ever in London Town

Where the people all come down?

See the King in his golden crown, riding on a donkey.

Riding on a donkey.
