The Electrified Donkey
Oh, well, I bought me a donkey, about four foot tallTo plough my cotton in the early fallHe's runnin' around, it was an awful sinI had to build a fence to keep my donkey inI rigged up a wire with a battery chargeTo keep my donkey from a-running at largeInside this bin I turned him looseThrilled by volts of electrified juiceWell, which way did my donkey goIf you see him let me knowI haven't seen my donkey sinceHe backed into that electrified fenceNow, the first time he backed up against itHe threw back his ears and he had a fitHe brayed real loud and he hit high gearHe jumped up into the stratosphereI just got word from AlbuquerqueA donkey up there was looking for workHe's my donkey and his name is JackOh, how I wish he'd come on backWell, which way did my donkey goLetras de cancionesIf you see him let me knowI haven't seen my donkey sinceHe backed into that electrified fenceNow, more word came from PalomarA man up there was a-watching the starWhile looking through his telescopeHe nearly had himself a strokeHe saw something riding up the rainbow trailWith two long ears and a puckered up tailThe thing he saw when he 'firmed the statesWas a donkey heading for the pearly gatesWell, which way did my donkey goIf you see him let me knowI haven't seen my donkey sinceHe backed into that electrified fence
