Intro :
On a wagon bound for market
There's a calf with a mourn ful eye
High above him there's a swallow
Win ging swiftly through the s ky
How the winds are laughing
They laugh with all their might
Laugh and laugh the whole day t hrough
And half the summer's night
(basses: A)
Donna, Donna, Donna, Donna
Donna, Donna, Donna, Do
Donna, Donna, Donna, Donna
Donna, Donna, Donna, Do
(Instrumental):
"Stop co mplaining" said the farmer
Who told you a calf to b e?
Why don't you have wings to fly with
Like the swallow so proud and f ree?
How the winds are la ughing
They laugh with all their might
Laugh and laugh the whole day t hrough
And half the summer's night
(basses: A)
Donna, Donna, Donna, Donna
Donna, Donna, Donna, Do
Donna, Donna, Donna, Donna
Donna, Donna, Donna, Do
(Instrumental):
Calves are easily bound and slaughtered
Never knowing the reaso n wh y
But who ever treasures freedom
Like the swallow has learned to f ly
How the winds are l aughing
They laugh with all their might
Laugh and laugh the whole day t hrough
And half the summer's night
(basses: )
Donna, Donna, Donna, Donna
Donna, Donna, Donna, Do
Donna, Donna, Donna, Donna
Donna, Donna, Donna, Do
