Way back in 1959 or early 1960 I found a "folk music" album by a trio called "The Coachmen" (or something very similar) and one of the songs was "Run, Little Donkey, Run." (I've never heard of that particular group since, although I think there's a different group that uses that name.)

The lyrics they sang, as I recall were:

Refrain:
O Tindalay-o,* Run, Little Donkey, Run (x2)

I'm on my way to see my love,
The darling of my heart.
I hope she wait, I'm bound be late -
My donkey won't pull the cart.

(Refrain)

I bought you at a bargain price
But I'd sell you at a loss,
Because it is a natural fact
That I should have bought a horse!

(Refrain)

Those are the only 2 verses I remember.

*I thought they were singing "tindalay-o," but it could have been "tingalay-o."
