On a wa-gon bound for mar-ket there's a calf with a mourn-ful eye,
High a-bove him there's a swal-low wing-ing swift-ly through the sky.
How the winds are laugh-ing, they laugh with all their might,
laugh and laugh the whole day trough, and half the sum-mer's night.
Don-na, don-na, don-na, don-na, don-na, don-na, don-na, don.
Don-na, don-na, don-na, don-na, don-na, don-na, don-na, don.
