C
Well I bought me a donkey about four foot tall
G7
To plough my cotton in the early fall
He's running around it was an awful sin
C G7 C
I had to build a fence to keep my donkey in
I rigged up the wire with a battery charge
G7
To keep my donkey from a-running at large
Inside this bin I turned him loose
C G7 C
Corralled by volts of electrified juice
F
Which way did my donkey go
C
If you see him let me know
F
I haven't seen my donkey since
C G7 C
He backed into that electrified fence
Now the first time he backed up against it
G7
He threw back his ears and he had a fit
He brayed real loud and he hit high gear
C G7 C
He jumped up into the stratosphere
I just got word from Albuquerque
G7
A donkey up there was looking for work
He's my donkey and his name is Jack
C G7 C
Oh how I wish he'd come on back
Repeat #3
Now more word came from Palamar
G7
A man up there was a-watching the stars
While looking through his telescope
C G7 C
He nearly had himself a stroke
He saw something riding up the rainbow trail
G7
Two long ears and a cockabur tail
This thing he saw when he informed the states
C G7 C
Was a donkey heading for the pearly gates
Repeat #3
