As I remember, (it was 30 years ago), the song began I bought me a donkey about four feet tall, Ploughed my cotton in the early fall, Running round was quite a sin I had to build a fence to keep my donkey in. I rigged up a fence with a battery charge, To keep my donkey from running at large... Its chorus was: Which way did my donkey go, Please St. Peter don't say no, Haven't seen my donkey since, He backed into that electrified fence. I heard the song on a 45 that I think had T. Texas Tyler singing Deck of Cards, and about 7 other songs by various artists. |

11 Jan 25 - 10:11 PM (#4215173) Subject: RE: ADD: Electrified Donkey From: cnd I know the song from Ferlin Husky's version on the undated Ferlin Husky Sings Ole Opry Favorites (Hilltop JM-6005). Many of those artists had their early bottom-of-the-barrel B-sides reissued on cheapo sets in the 60s and 70s as their careers became more prominent. You can listen to his version here. |
