1.  Strophe:
Am   E        Am          E          Am        Dm           E           Am
On a wagon bound for market, there's a calf with a mournful eye.
Am    E            Am        E           Am       Dm    E               Am
High above him there's a swallow winging swiftly through the sky.

Refrain:
G                          C                   G                         C
How the winds are laughing, they laugh with all their might,
G                            Am                               Am      E             Am   E   Am
Laugh and laugh the whole day through, and half the summer's night.
E                                Am      G                               Am
Donna, donna, donna, donna, donna, donna, donna, do.
E                                Am      Am                 E         Am   E   Am
Donna, donna, donna, donna, donna, donna, donna, do.

2.  Strophe:
"Stop complainin", said the farmer "Who told you what had to be,
Why can't you have wings to fly with like the swallow so proud and free?"
Refrain:

3.  Strophe:
Calves are easily bound and slaughtered never knowing the reason why.
Why can't you have wings to fly with, like the swallow you've learned to fly?
Refrain:
