Was you ever in Quebec?
Launchin' timber on the deck
where you break your bleedin' neck
Riding on the donkey.

Wey, hey and away we go
donkey riding, donkey riding
Wey, hey and away we go
riding on the donkey.

Was you ever round Cape Horn
where the weather's never warm
You wish to God you'd never been born
riding on the donkey.

Was you ever in mobile Bay
s_______ cotton all day
A dollar a day is Paddy's pay
riding on the donkey.

Was you ever in Miramashee
where you lie up to a tree
and the girls sit on your knee
riding on the donkey.

Was you ever in Canton
where the men wear pigtails long
and they all move honky kong
riding on the donkey.

Were you ever in Broomilaw
where the Yanks are all the go
and the boys dance heel and toe
riding on the donkey.

Was you ever in London town
see the King he does come down
See the King in his golden crown
riding on the donkey.

Was you ever in Liverpool Bay
see the Judy shout hooray
Here comes your Tommy with his 10 months pay
riding on the donkey.
