I bought me a
donkey about a four feet tall
To plow my cotton in the early fall
His runnin' round 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
-runnin' at large
Inside this pen I turned him loose
Corralled by volts of electrified juice
Which way did my donkey go?
If you see him, let me know
Haven't seen my donkey since
He backed into that electrified nest
The first time he backed up against it
He throwed back his ears and he had a fit
He brayed real loud and he hit high gear
He jumped way up into the atmosphere
Which way did my donkey go?
If you see him, let me know
Haven't seen my donkey since
He backed into that lek park
I just got word from Albuquerque
A donkey there was a -lookin' for work
It could be my beloved Jack,
if so, I'd love to have him back
Which way did my donkey go?
If you see him, let me know
Haven't seen my donkey since
he backed into that black bike
More work came from Palomar,
a man up there was a -watchin' a star
While a -lookin' through his telescope,
he nearly had himself a stroke
He's seen somethin' ridin'
up the rainbow trail
With two long ears and a cuff of bird tail
The thing he's seen, he firmly states
Was a donkey a -headin'
for the pearly gates
Which way did my donkey go?
Oh, St. Peter, don't say no
Meet my donkey with a grin
Please, St. Peter,
let the donkey hear
