[Introduction]
G
[Verse 1]
G Down the road came a tired little donkey, C G Much he was loaded 'til his head hung down. G Up on the back so heavy set a big man, G D7 G Singin' such a sad song, as he rode into town.
[Verse 2]
G And the man, the man sing to the donkey, C G But he sing such a sad song, and the guitar he broke. G The donkey stop, the man reach he get a big jug, G D7 G Him and the donkey take a sip o' the drink.
[Verse 3]
G Down the road, oh the dancing donkey, C G Head swingin' so high, all the pain now gone. G The man he sing, some song was a gay song, G D7 G And the little donkey kept a-dancin' on.
