The Electrified Donkey Lyrics - Johnny Horton

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
