Well, I bought me a donkey, about four foot tall
|
To plough my cotton in the early fall
|
He's runnin' around, it was an awful sin
|
I had to build a fence to keep my donkey in
|
|
I rigged up the wire with a battery charge
|
To keep my donkey from a-running at large
|
Inside this bin I turned him loose
|
Thrilled by volts of electrified juice
|
|
Which way did my donkey go
|
If you see him let me know
|
I haven't seen my donkey since
|
He backed into that electrified fence
|
|
Now, the first time he backed up against it
|
He threw back his ears and he had a fit
|
He brayed real loud and he hit high gear
|
He jumped up into the stratosphere
|
|
I just got word from Albuquerque
|
A donkey up there was looking for work
|
He's my donkey and his name is Jack
|
Oh, how I wish he'd come on back
|
|
Which way did my donkey go
|
If you see him let me know
|
I haven't seen my donkey since
|
He backed into that electrified fence
|
|
Now, more word came from Palamar
|
A man up there was a-watching the star
|
While looking through his telescope
|
He nearly had himself a stroke
|
|
He saw something riding up the rainbow trail
|
Two long ears and a puckered up tail
|
This thing he saw when he 'firmed the states
|
Was a donkey heading for the pearly gates
|
|
Which way did my donkey go
|
If you see him let me know
|
I haven't seen my donkey since
|
He backed into that electrified fence
|
|
Hee-haw (hee-haw)
|
Hee-haw (hee-haw)
