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

Ride your donkey
Nothing for me
Gallop your donkey
In a major key

Because deep within his heart
Daddy knowed that I was smart
And the only tune that I could play, yes sir
The only tune that I could play, was

Ride your donkey
Nothing for me
Gallop your donkey
In a major key

Gallop your donkey.....
