[Intro]
E
[Verse 1]
E
Well I bought me a donkey about four foot tall
B7
To plough my cotton in the early fall
His running around was an awful sin
E N.C.
I had to build a fence to keep my donkey in
[Verse 2]
E
I rigged up a wire with a battery charge
B7
To keep my donkey from a-running at large
Inside this pen I turned him loose
E N.C.
Corralled by volts of electrified juice
[Chorus]
A E
Which way did my donkey go
B7 E
If you see him let me know
A E
I haven't seen my donkey since
B7 E
He backed into that electrified fence
{c:Break}
E
[Verse 3]
E
Now the first time he backed up against it
B7
He threw back his ears and he had a fit
He brayed real loud and he hit high gear
E N.C.
He jumped up into the stratosphere
[Verse 4]
E
I just got word from Albuquerque
B7
A donkey up there was looking for work
He's my donkey and his name is Jack
E N.C.
Oh how I wish he'd come on back
[Chorus]
A E
Which way did my donkey go
B7 E
If you see him let me know
A E
I haven't seen my donkey since
B7 E
He backed into that electrified fence
[Break]
E
[Verse 5]
E
Now more word came from Palamar
B7
A man up there was a-watching the stars
While looking through his telescope
E N.C.
He nearly had himself a stroke
[Verse 6]
E
He saw something riding up the rainbow trail
B7
With two long ears and a cockabur tail
This thing he saw and he firmly states
E N.C.
Was a donkey heading for the pearly gates
[Chorus]
A E
Well, which way did my donkey go
B7 E
If you see him let me know
A E
I haven't seen my donkey since
B7 E
He backed into that electrified fence
[Outro]
E
Haw - Haw Hee Haw (repeat to fade over riff)
