Btw, in Mrrzy's song the donkey name is "Catin" which at first was a pet name for Catherine and came to refer to any peasant girl. In Louisiana and Quebec the word is still used for a doll or a little girl but in France it also meant slut/whore and it's the only meaning it has nowadays. So you can understand some sentences as you see fit.
