[N] [E]
Oh, well, I bought me a donkey about a foot tall
To plow my cotton in [B] the early fall
His running around was an awful sin
[E] I had to build a fence to [F#] keep my donkey in
[E] I rigged up a wire with a battery charge
To keep my donkey [B] from a-running at large
Inside this bin I turned him loose
Corralled by a vulse of [E] electrified juice
Well, [A] where'd my [E] donkey go?
[B] If you see him, [E] let me know
[A] I haven't seen my [E] donkey since
He backed [F#] into [E] that electrified fence
Now the first time he backed up against it
He threw back his [B] ears and he had a fit
He braved real loud and he hit high gear
[E] He jumped up [F#] into the stratosphere
[E]
I just got word from a albacore
A donkey up there [B] was looking for work
[Bm] He's my donkey and his name is Jack
[E] Oh, I wish [F#] he'd come on back
Well, [A] where'd my [E] donkey go?
If you [F#] see [E] him, let me know
I [A] haven't seen [E] my donkey since
[B] He backed into that [E] electrified fence
One more word came from a pile of marl
A man up there was a [B]-watching the star
While he was looking through his telescope
[E] He nearly had himself a stroke
He saw something riding up the rainbow trail
With long ears and [Bm] a buckled bird [F#] tail
The [Bm] thing he saw and he firmly states
[E] Was a donkey headed for [F#] the pearly gates
Well, [A] where'd my [E] donkey go?
[B] If you see him, [E] let me know
I [Am] haven't seen my [E] donkey since
[B] He backed into that [E] electrified [B] fence
[Em] [E]
[Am] [E] Oh, I wish he'd come on back
[Em]
