My ole donkey
Went courting one day
With a donkey named
Melda across the way
She was twice his age
He put up a fight
Now he’s crying every night
Oh, lemme go, darling Melda
You breaking my back bone
Lemme go, darling Melda
You breaking my, everybody
Oh, lemme go, darling Melda
You breaking my back bone
Once again now
Lemme go, darling Melda
You breaking my back bone
A little louder
Lemme go, darling Melda
You breaking my back bone
A little softer
Lemme go, darling Melda
You breaking my back bone
Some people say
That my donkey is bad
And that is because
He’s from Trinidad
Donkey of mine
He won’t work at all
All he want to do Is break out him stall
Me donkey want water (hold em, Joe)
Sing out the chorus (hold em, Joe)
And sing a little louder (hold em, Joe)
Me donkey want water (hold em, Joe)
And Hugo want water (hold em, Joe)
Me donkey want water (hold em, Joe)
Me donkey want water (hold em, Joe)
Fuma la catchimba (hold em, Joe)

Sing a little softer (hold em, Joe)
Still a little softer (hold em, Joe)
Now sing a little louder (hold em, Joe)
Donkey want wanter (hold em, Joe)
