Johnny Horton - The Electrified Donkey lyrics

Oh, well, I bought me a donkey, about four foot tall To plough my cotton in the early fall He's runnin' around, it was an awful sin I had to build a fence to keep my donkey in I rigged up a wire with a battery charge To keep my donkey from a-running at large Inside this bin I turned him loose Thrilled by volts of electrified juice Well, which way did my donkey go If you see him let me know I haven't seen my donkey since He backed into that electrified fence Now, the first time he backed up against it He threw back his ears and he had a fit He brayed real loud and he hit high gear He jumped up into the stratosphere I just got word from Albuquerque A donkey up there was looking for work He's my donkey and his name is Jack Oh, how I wish he'd come on back Well, which way did my donkey go If you see him let me know I haven't seen my donkey since He backed into that electrified fence Now, more word came from Palomar A man up there was a-watching the star While looking through his telescope He nearly had himself a stroke He saw something riding up the rainbow trail With two long ears and a puckered up tail The thing he saw when he 'firmed the states Was a donkey heading for the pearly gates Well, which way did my donkey go If you see him let me know I haven't seen my donkey since He backed into that electrified fence
