Were you ever in Cardiff Bay, or Cape Horn, and were you "Riding on a Donkey."

Donkey Riding

Were you ever in Quebec
Stowin' timber on the deck?
where ye'd break yer aching neck
Riding on a donkey!

chorus: Way O and away we go
Donkey riding, donkey riding
Way O and away we go
Riding on a donkey.


Were you ever off Cape Horn
Where it's always fine and warm?
Where's there's a lion and a unicorn
Riding on a donkey.

chorus: Way O and away we go


Were you ever in Cardiff Bay
Where the folks all shout, "Hooray!"?
"Here comes Johnny with his six months pay
Riding on a donkey."

chorus: Way O and away we go



Were you ever in Timbucktoo
Where the gals are black and blue?
And they wriggle their arses, too
Riding on a donkey.

chorus: Way O and away we go




Were you ever in Vallipo
Where the gals put on a show?
Wriggle their arse with a roll and go
Riding on a donkey.

chorus: Way O and away we go


Wuz ye ever down Mobile Bay
Screwin' cotton all the day?,
A dollar a day is a white man's pay.
Ridin' on a donkey.

chorus: Way O and away we go


Wuz ye ever in Canton
Where the men wear pigtails long,
And the gals play hong-ki-kong?
Ridin' on a donkey.

chorus: Way O and away we go


Wuz ye ever in Mirramashee

Where ye tie up to a tree,

An' the skeeters do bite we?

Ridin' on a donkey

chorus: Way O and away we go



Wuz ye ever on the Broomielaw

Where the Yanks are all the go,

An' the boys dance heel an' toe?

Ridin' on a donkey.

chorus: Way O and away we go

I used to love singing this song.
