[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)
