Misc Traditional — Riding On A Donkey

Текст песни с аккордами

    	    	Вступление

Mid 19th century sea shanty. The 'donkey' referred to is generally thought to be the name given to
a type of steam engine not the animal! Several versions (with various lyrics) out there - these are the
lyrics I tend to use.
