Lyrics
(Canadian folk song)
1. Were you ever in Quebec,
Showing timber on a deck?
There’s a king with a golden crown,
Riding on a donkey.
Refrain
Hey, ho away we go, donkey riding, donkey riding,
Hey, ho away we go, Riding on a donkey.
2. Were you ever off the horn,
Where it’s always fine and warm?
See the lion and the unicorn,
Riding on a donkey. Refrain
3. Were you ever in the town,
Where the girls walk up and down?
Waiting for boys to come to town
Riding on a donkey. Refrain

70 now but when I was in primary school in 1957 we were taught Stowing timber on the deck. Guess there were regional variations though.
