Motley Words

Was you ever in Quebec, Stowing  timber on the deck,
Where you break ya bleeding neck, riding on a donkey.
(Chorus)
Way hey and a-way we go, Donkey riding Donkey riding
Way hey and away we go riding on a donkey

Was you ever round Cape Horn where the weather’s never warm,
Wish to God you’d never been born, riding on a donkey
(Chorus)

Was you ever in Miramichie where they tie you to a tree,
Have a girl sit on your knee, riding on a donkey.
(Chorus)

Was you ever in mobile bay picking cotton all the day,
A dollar a day is all your pay, riding on a donkey
(Chorus)

Was you ever in Vallipo, where the girls put on a show,
Waggle & dance and roll & go riding on a donkey
(Chorus)

Was you ever in London Town, where the girls come riding down
See the King in a golden Crown, riding on a donkey
