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?
