HI

well you asked for it so here goes. (It would be much easier to send a midi file if this were possible.)

Now... Delaney had a donkey that everyone admired
cccc / ^ccb/agaed
Temporarily lazy and permanently tired
d/ cccc^ccb/agab^c
A leg at every corner, balancing his head
gg^c eeefghf g ^ccb^c
And a tail to let you know it when he wanted to be fed
e a ^c a/ g# a b g# aaa
Riley slyly said "We've underrated it
e a ^c a / g#a b g# a
Why not train it?" then they took a rag
g/ ^ cccc/g a g f d f g g/
They rubbed it, scrubbed it they oiled and lubricated it
a a a a a a a a b c a
Got it at the post and when the starter dropped the flag

^eee ^cccc a g a b ^ccc
There was Riley pushing it, shoving it, shooshing it
^cc c c g a g e d
Hogan, Logan and everyone in town
^ c c c c a g a b ^c c c c
Lined up attacking it and shoving it and smacking it
b g g g g a b ^ c a b ^c ^d
They might as well have tried to push the town hall down
^e ^cccc a g a b ^ccc
The donkey was eyeing them, openly defying them
^cccc g a g e d
Winking, blinking and twisting out of place
e g g g f e f g g aa a a g a b ^c
Riley reversing it, everybody cursing it
^cc eee f g a f g b ^c
The day Delaney's donkey ran the half-mile race

Hope you can follow this. The first part of the tune is similar to "Phil the Fluter's Ball". You will need to slow down a lot on the last 2 lines. i.e. The bookmakers all drew aside..............
