Lyrics
Oh, well, I bought me a donkey, about four foot tall
Bought a donkey, approximately four feet tall, for plowing cotton in early fall.
To plough my cotton in the early fall
Donkey is running around, prompting the need for a fence to contain it.

I rigged up a wire with a battery charge

Inside this bin I turned him loose
Released the donkey inside a bin.
Thrilled by volts of electrified juice

Request for information if someone sees the donkey.
I haven't seen my donkey since

Expressing the donkey's energetic response.
