about
The age old tale about a boy and his pet donkey who is also his best friend.
lyrics
When I was just a little lad
got a pet donkey from me dad.
Donkey hee and the donkey haw
late at night and it wake me pa.
Pa come out and him start to wail,
take out knife and take donkey tail
Now when I go take donkey out
I can hear all the children shout
Whoa
Take a look a the donkey
Tied up onto the rail
let's pin a tail on the donkey
that donkey he got no tail
One day when I go into town
everyone they put donkey down.
Then we stop of and get some food
waitress there start a acting rude.
That girl there she ain't got no class
say she no serving no jackass.
So, instead of eating my lunch
I give her the ole donkey punch
Whoa
Take a look a the donkey
Tied up onto the rail
let's pin a tail on the donkey
that donkey he got no tail
Later on now the girl mad.
I find out the sheriff is her dad.
To make things even worse for me
her husband is the deputy
Now real quick out of town we get
riding off into the sunset
Now me donkey me only friend
he stay with me until the end
Whoa
Take a look a the donkey
Tied eating oats from his pail
let's pin a tail on the donkey
that donkey he got no tail
Whoa
Take a look a the donkey
Tied up onto the rail
let's pin a tail on the donkey
that donkey he got no tail
Whoa
Take a look a the donkey
Tied eating oats from his pail
let's pin a tail on the donkey
that donkey he got no tail
got a pet donkey from me dad.
Donkey hee and the donkey haw
late at night and it wake me pa.
Pa come out and him start to wail,
take out knife and take donkey tail
Now when I go take donkey out
I can hear all the children shout
Whoa
Take a look a the donkey
Tied up onto the rail
let's pin a tail on the donkey
that donkey he got no tail
One day when I go into town
everyone they put donkey down.
Then we stop of and get some food
waitress there start a acting rude.
That girl there she ain't got no class
say she no serving no jackass.
So, instead of eating my lunch
I give her the ole donkey punch
Whoa
Take a look a the donkey
Tied up onto the rail
let's pin a tail on the donkey
that donkey he got no tail
Later on now the girl mad.

Now real quick out of town we get

Tied eating oats from his pail
let's pin a tail on the donkey
