When I was but a little laddie
My daddy bought a fiddle for me
And the only tune that I could play
Yes, the only tune that I could play was

Ride your donkey, nothing for me
Gallop you donkey in a major key

Deep within his heart
Daddy knowed that I was smart
And the only tune that I could play
Yes, the only tune that I could play was

Ride your donkey, nothing for me
Gallop you donkey in a major key
Ride your donkey
