Movin right along...back to the songs, here's one from http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Valley/5170/cffolk.html, a Girl Guide page. This was listed on the folk songs page:


Donkey Riding

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 round the horn?
Where it's always fine and warm
See 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

Were you ever in Timbucktoo?
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?
