My Donkey Want Water (varied and reworked lyrics- influenced by Macbeth the Great's 1946 version)
MY DONKEY WANT WATER
I say, hold him Joe, hold him Joe, hold him Joe, and don't let him go.
Hold him Joe, hold him Joe, hold him Joe and don't let him go.
My donkey wants water, (hold him Joe)
Better hold your daughter,
Oh, he wants some water
(Hold him Joe)
Me and my donkey went up to town,
My donkey pulled me across the ground.
Some people say that my donkey is bad,
And that it's because he comes from Trinidad
This donkey of mine, does no work at all
All he does is break the boards of his stall
He won't do what he "oughter" (hold him Joe)
You've got to hold your daughter, hold him Joe
My donkey wants water,
My donkey needs water,
My donkey wants to drink and sometimes at night
He'll come kick your leg in a fright.
