by Donovan
(from Catch The Wind, 1965)
On a wagon bound for
market there's a calf with a mournful
eye
High above him there's a
swallow winging swiftly through the
sky
All the winds are laughing, they laugh with
all their might
Love and laugh the whole day through and half
the summers night
Donna Donna Donna Donna,
Donna Donna Donna Don
Donna Donna Donna Donna,
Donna Donna Donna Don
"Stop
complaining" 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?"
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
