Little Red Donkey

(álbum: Cellophane - 1967)

I've spent all my money on something no use to me
A little red donkey
A little red donkey
He sleeps in the shade all day
Lazing the time away
That little red donkey
That little red donkey
Won't work when I want him to
Whoops he needs another shoe
I feed him on this and that
But he won't pull the trap
Won't work when I want him to
Won't work when I want him to

Well up to the market not a cent in my pocket
That little red donkey
That little red donkey
He's stopping and starting
But soon well be parting
That little red donkey
That little red donkey
Won't work when I want him to
Won't work when I want him to

It's no use pretending
Our friendship is ending
My little red donkey
My little red donkey

I made me some money
Sold something no use to me
A little red donkey
A little red donkey
Won't work when I want him to
Won't work when I want him to

Little red donkey
Little red donkey
Little red donkey
Little red donkey
Little red donkey fading away
Little red donkey fading away more
