Lyrics
0:06Oh well I bought me a donkey about four foot tall
0:09To plough my cotton in the early fall
0:12He's runnin' around it was an awful sin
0:15I had to build a fence to keep my donkey in
0:18I rigged up a wire with a battery charge
0:21To keep my donkey from a-running at large
0:24Inside this bin I turned him loose
0:27Thrilled by volts of electrified juice
0:30Well which way did my donkey go
0:33If you see him let me know
0:36I haven't seen my donkey since
0:39He backed into that electrified fence
0:48Now the first time he backed up against it
0:51He threw back his ears and he had a fit
0:54He brayed real loud and he hit high gear
0:57He jumped up into the stratosphere
1:00I just got word from Albuquerque
1:03A donkey up there was looking for work
1:06He's my donkey and his name is Jack
1:09Oh how I wish he'd come on back
1:11Well which way did my donkey go
1:15If you see him let me know
1:18I haven't seen my donkey since
1:21He backed into that electrified fence
1:29Now more word came from Palomar
1:32A man up there was a-watching the star
1:35While looking through his telescope
1:38He nearly had himself a stroke
1:41He saw something riding up the rainbow trail
1:45With two long ears and a puckered up tail
1:48The thing he saw when he 'firmed the states
1:50Was a donkey heading for the pearly gates
1:54Well which way did my donkey go
1:57If you see him let me know
2:00I haven't seen my donkey since
2:03He backed into that electrified fence
Oh 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 a 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 Well 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 Well 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 Palomar 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 With two long ears and a puckered up tail The thing he saw when he 'firmed the states Was a donkey heading for the pearly gates Well 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
