[Verse 1]
G
Down the road came a tired little donkey,
C G
Much he was loaded 'til his head hung down.
G
Up on the back so heavy set a big man,
G D7 G
Singin' such a sad song, as he rode into town.
[Verse 2]
G
And the man, the man sing to the donkey,
C G
But he sing such a sad song, and the guitar he broke.
G
The donkey stop, the man reach he get a big jug,
G D7 G
Him and the donkey take a sip o' the drink.
[Verse 3]
G
Down the road, oh the dancing donkey,
C G
Head swingin' so high, all the pain now gone.
G
The man he sing, some song was a gay song,
G D7 G
And the little donkey kept a-dancin' on.
[Instrumental]
G C G D7 G
[Verse 4]
G
Way down the road go the man and the donkey,
G C G
So good feel the donkey, so gay was the man.
G
How plain when the wind blow was the sound of the gay song,
G D7 G
When the man and the donkey a'kept a-movin' on
[Outro]
G C
