Donkey Riding
(source: "Girl Guide Songbook, Vol. 1", Girl Guides Association,
1984.)
Chorus:
- Hey ho, away we go
- Donkey riding, donkey riding
- Hey ho, away we go
- Riding on a donkey
- Were you ever in Quebec?
- Stowing timber on the deck
- Where there's a king with a golden crown
- 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
Were you ever in Cardiff Bay?
- Where the folks all shout, "Hurray!"
- Here comes John with his three months pay
- Riding on a donkey
These last two verses are obvious add-ons to
the original song.
-
Were you ever in Timbuktu?
- Where the Girl Guides dress in blue
- Where they come to welcome you
- Riding on a donkey
Were you ever in Ottawa?
- Strangest place I ever saw
- Where the Mounties keep the law
- Riding on a donkey
