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.
