The Elecrified Donkey Lyrics

The Elecrified Donkey lyrics



WRITERS FERLIN HUSKY, EATON





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 the 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

[Chorus]

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 tyhe 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

Now, more word came from Palamar

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

Two long ears and a puckered up tail

This thing he saw when he 'firmed the states

Was a donkey heading for the pearly gates

Hee-haw (hee-haw)

Hee-haw (hee-haw)
