The Man And The Donkey

Recorded in August 1961 in the same session as ’Come On’ and ’Brown-eyed handsome man’. From  ’The complete chess recordings 1960-1966’        https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=83RH6VC7RDE [Introduction] [Verse 1] Down the road came a tired little donkey Much he was loaded ’til his head hung down. Up on the back so heavy set a big man Singin’ such a sad song as he rode into town. [Verse 2] And the man the man sing to the donkey But he sing such a sad song and the guitar he broke. The donkey stop the man reach he get a big jug Him and the donkey take a sip o’ the drink. [Verse 3] Down the road oh the dancing donkey Head swingin’ so high all the pain now gone. The man he sing some song was a gay song And the little donkey kept a-dancin’ on. [Instrumental]                 [Verse 4] Way down the road go the man and the donkey So good feel the donkey so gay was the man. How plain when the wind blow was the sound of the gay song When the man and the donkey a’kept a-movin’ on [Outro] Down the road (FADE...)
