Children's Song
Tingalayo! Come little donkey come,
Tingalayo! Come little donkey come.
M'donkey walk, m'donkey talk,
M'donkey eat with a knife and fork.
M'donkey walk, m'donkey talk,
M'donkey eat with a knife and fork.
Tingalayo! Come little donkey come,
Tingalayo! Come little donkey come.
M'donkey eat, m'donkey sleep,
M'donkey kick with his two hind feet.
M'donkey eat, m'donkey sleep,
M'donkey kick with his two hind feet.
Tingalayo! Come little donkey come,
Tingalayo! Come little donkey come!
Many thanks to Sharon Davis for the great recording! Sharon wrote, "Thanks for the lovely Jamaican songs, being a descendant of a Kingston grandmother it brought me closer to my roots. I sing and play guitar, and I have a small accent. I'm forwarding you via Mp3 a copy of Tingalayo. I thought you would appreciate my work."
