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.

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:
