| But don’t let him go Hold em, Joe, I say |
| Hold em, Joe, hold em, Joe |
| But don’t let him go Me donkey want water (hold em, Joe) |
| Spring round the corner (hold em, Joe) |
| Me donkey want water (hold em, Joe) |
| Everybody want water (hold em, Joe) |
| Fuma la catchimba (hold em, Joe) |
| Me donkey want water (hold em, Joe) |
| Everybody want water (hold em, Joe) |
| Me donkey want water (hold em, Joe) |
| We on a journey |
| He don’t walk straight |
| And that is because |
| He’s so underweight |
| Donkey of mine |
| He don’t like no weight |
| Put him on a cart |
| He never walk straight |
| Me donkey want water (hold em, Joe) |
| Everybody want water (hold em, Joe) |
| Me donkey want water (hold em, Joe) |
| The people want water (hold em, Joe) |
| Me donkey want water (hold em, Joe) |
| Fuma la catchimba (hold em, Joe) |
| Me donkey want water (hold em, Joe) |
| Me donkey need water (hold em, Joe) |
| 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) |
| Donkey want water (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) |
