Johnny Horton - The Electrified Donkey Lyrics
Oh, well, I bought me a donkey, about four foot tall
To plough my cotton in the early fall
He's runnin' around, it was an awful sin
I had to build a fence to keep my donkey in
To keep my donkey from a-running at large
Inside this bin I turned him loose
Thrilled by volts of electrified juice
Well, which way did my donkey go
If you see him let me know
I haven't seen my donkey since
He backed into that electrified fence
Now, the first time he backed up against it
He brayed real loud and he hit high gear
He jumped up into the stratosphere
I just got word from Albuquerque
A donkey up there was looking for work
He's my donkey and his name is Jack
Oh, how I wish he'd come on back
Well, which way did my donkey go
If you see him let me know
I haven't seen my donkey since
He backed into that electrified fence
Now, more word came from Palomar
A man up there was a-watching the star
While looking through his telescope
He nearly had himself a stroke
He saw something riding up the rainbow trail
With two long ears and a puckered up tail
The thing he saw when he 'firmed the states
Was a donkey heading for the pearly gates
Well, which way did my donkey go
If you see him let me know
I haven't seen my donkey since
He backed into that electrified fence

Johnny Horton The Electrified Donkey Comments
It So Great
WOW WOW WOW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
From a mad keen 76yo Aussie fan.
Wonderful lyrics sung by a fantastic singer.
Iam quite young and I like that also :)
LOL had not heard this in YEARS!
Great ole rockin song.
Bet that jackass got a real CHARGE out of that fince 😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆
In the day this was a new type of sound. Horton was versatile
Even today it would be new
I'd love to see the faces of the audience at the CMA or any of those awards if Johnny stepped on the stage and tore off into this!
I'm gonna play this song at my funeral 😂
One of several I hope to have played at mine.
You hope this song will be played at your funeral.....but it won't be up to you to "play it" cos you better be dead....or you will have a lot more things to worry about than what song is being played while they lower you into the ground and poor dirt on top of you!
First time I've heard this song. It's a real rocker !!!!! Another Johnny Horton rocker that I discovered recently is : '' The Same Old Tale That The Crow Told Me '' That one really rocks, as well. Just like this one does. Crazy, baby. HH. Sidmouth, Devon.
I plan on making a movie out of this song.
I love it
Love it!!
Glenn Johnson Love Johnny Horton.Have this one by Ferlin Huskey but i do prefer this version which i must admit,not heard before.Nice one,thanks.

Minecraft Master FTW then why are you commenting this here
He signed two albums for my mother in the early sixties when he was in Alexandria Louisiana at a concert Jimmy Thompson's Arena he ate supper at our house he sang in our house I've been partial to him ever since I was a very young boy but I remember like yesterday he had his daughter and stepson which I'm pretty sure was Hank Williams jr. He was about a head taller than me and his daughter was a good bit taller than me thanks Johnny Horton
@Rodney Blair he died in 1960
We all do, mate.
i wonder if that is James Burton on the guitar solo. it sure sounds like him. although it could also be Grady Martin or Owen Bradley.
I believe (could be wrong) that was hank Garland...GOOD stuff all the same.
