DONKEY RIDING
Home > Composers > Paul Aitken >
Imagine hauling timber out of the bush back in the 1930’s. The steam donkey was often used to do the heavy lifting – loading trains. This is a classic Canadian folksong and Paul has brought it to life with this spirited arrangement.
LYRICS
Were you ever in Quebec
Stowing timber on the deck?
Where there’s a king with a golden crown
Riding on a donkey.
Hey, ho, away we go
Donkey riding, donkey riding.
Hey and a ho and away we go
Riding on a donkey.
Were you ever off the Horn
Where it’s always fine and warm?
And seen the lion, the unicorn
Riding on a donkey.
Hey, ho, away we go
Donkey riding, donkey riding.
Hey and a ho and away we go
Riding on a donkey.
Were you ever in Cardiff Bay
Where the folks all shout, “Hurray!”?
Here comes John with three month’s pay
Riding on a donkey.
Hey, ho, away we go
Donkey riding, donkey riding.
Hey and a ho and away we go
Riding on a donkey.
