Wuz you ever in Quebec,
Launchin’ timber on the deck.
Where ye’d brake yer bleedin’ neck.
A-ridin’ on a donkey!
Way, hey, an’ away we go,
Donkey ridin’, donkey ridin’!
Way, hey, an’ away we go,
A-ridin’ on a donkey!


Wuz ye ever in Timbuktoo
Where the gals are black an’ blue,
Where they waggle their backsides too.

Wuz ye ever in Vallipo,
Where the gals put on a show,
Waggle an’ dance with a roll ‘n’ go.

Wuz ye ever in Mobile Bay,
Screwin’ cotton all the day,
A dollar a day is a white man’s pay.

Wuz ye ever in Canton,
Where the men wear pigtails long,
an’ the gals play hong-ki-kong.

Wuz ye ever in London Town’
Where the gals they do come down,
To see the King in a golden crown.

Wuz ye ever in ‘Frisco Bay,
Where the gals all shout, hooray,
Here comes Johnny with his three years pay.

Wuz ye ever off Cape Horn,
Where the weather’s niver warm,
Where ye wish te hell ye’d niver bin born.
