Joan Baez Donna Donna lyrics

On a wagon bound for market<br />
There's a calf with a mournful eye<br />
High above him there's a swallow<br />
Winging swiftly through the sky<br />
<br />
How the winds are laughing<br />
They laugh with all their might<br />
Laugh and laugh the whole day through<br />
And half the summer's night<br />
<br />
Donna, Donna, Donna, Donna<br />
Donna, Donna, Donna, Don<br />
Donna, Donna, Donna, Donna<br />
Donna, Donna, Donna, Don<br />
<br />
"Stop complaining", said the farmer<br />
Who told you a calf to be?<br />
Why don't you have wings to fly with<br />
Like the swallow so proud and free?<br />
<br />
How the winds are laughing<br />
They laugh with all their might<br />
Laugh and laugh the whole day through<br />
And half the summer's night<br />

<br />
Donna, Donna, Donna, Donna<br />
Donna, Donna, Donna, Don<br />
Donna, Donna, Donna, Donna<br />
Donna, Donna, Donna, Don<br />
<br />
Calves are easily bound and slaughtered<br />
Never knowing the reason why<br />
But whoever treasures freedom<br />
Like the swallow has learned to fly<br />
<br />
How the winds are laughing<br />
They laugh with all their might<br />
Laugh and laugh the whole day through<br />
And half the summer's night<br />
<br />
Donna, Donna, Donna, Donna<br />
Donna, Donna, Donna, Don<br />
Donna, Donna, Donna, Donna<br />
Donna, Donna, Donna, Don
