[Intro]
E

[Verse 1]
E
Well I bought me a donkey about four foot tall
                           B7
To plough my cotton in the early fall

He's running around it was an awful sin
  E   N.C.
I had to build a fence to keep my donkey in

[Verse 2]
  E
I rigged up the wire with a battery charge
                         B7
To keep my donkey from a-running at large

Inside this pen I turned him loose
   E      N.C.
Corralled by volts of electrified juice

[Chorus]
A                E
Which way did my donkey go
B7             E
If you see him let me know
  A               E
I haven't seen my donkey since
   B7                E
He backed into that electrified fence

{c:Break}
E

[Verse 3]
E
Now the first time he backed up against it
                              B7
He threw back his ears and he had a fit

He brayed real loud and he hit high gear
   E      N.C.
He jumped up into the stratosphere

[Verse 4]
  E
I just got word from Albuquerque
                      B7
A donkey up there was looking for work

He's my donkey and his name is Jack
   E   N.C.
Oh how I wish he'd come on back

[Chorus]
A                E
Which way did my donkey go
B7             E
If you see him let me know
  A               E
I haven't seen my donkey since
   B7                E
He backed into that electrified fence

[Break]
E

[Verse 5]
    E
Now more word came from Palamar
                     B7
A man up there was a-watching the stars

While looking through his telescope
   E      N.C.
He nearly had himself a stroke

[Verse 6]
   E
He saw something riding up the rainbow trail
                    B7
Two long ears and a cockabur tail

This thing he saw when he informed the states
      E      N.C.
Was a donkey heading for the pearly gates

[Chorus]
A                E
Which way did my donkey go
B7             E
If you see him let me know
  A               E
I haven't seen my donkey since
   B7                E
He backed into that electrified fence

[Outro]
E
Haw - Haw Hee Haw (repeat to fade over riff)
