Man and the Donkey Songtext
von Chuck Berry

Down the road, came a tired little donkey
Much he was loaded ′till his head hung down
Up on the back, so, heavy sit a big man
Singin' such a sad song as he rode into town


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 he reach to get a big jug
Him and the donkey take a sip o′ the drink

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

Way down the road was 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 kept a-movin′ on down the road
