🎶 Donkey Kosh

[A#m]With a donkey on my [D#]shoulder,
[Cb]And a jackal [F]on my back,
[A#m]I'll carry these, my [D#]children,
[Cb]Keep them safe [F]from attack
[D#]The donkey makes it [Bbm]hard to dance, [F]the jackal sings too [A#m]loud
[D#]The donkey cries when [A#m]it's alone, and the [F]jackal is too [F]proud

[A#m]Little donkey is [D#]getting restless,
[Cb]Getting heavier [F]as it grows
[A#m]And the jackal, [D#]spoilt and spiteful,
[Cb]Keeps biting at [F]my nose

[Bb]I would have a [Eb]lover,
[Cb]a husband, and [F]a child
[A#m]But the donkey [D#]is too jealous,
[A#]And the jackal [D]is to
[D#]wild [Bbm] [A#m]
It's too [D#]wild [Bbm] [F]

[D#]You ask me why I [Bbm]keep them,
[F]Why I love them [A#m]so,
Why they [D#]get away with [Bbm]murder,
[F]As they grow and [F]grow and grow, oh
I [D#]keep them 'cause I [Bbm]made them,
[Cb]They come from in my [F]heart
With [D#]each mistake I [Bbm]make
Created, [F]and torn [A#m]apart
And [D#]when it's time to [Bbm]feed them,
[F]Before they go to [A#m]bed,
I [D#]give them my [Bbm]confessions,
[Cb]Baked within their [F]bread

[A#m]Little donkey is [D#]getting restless,
[Cb]Getting heavier [F]as it grows
[A#m]And the jackal, [D#]spoilt and spiteful,
[Cb]Keeps biting at [F]my nose
[A#m]Little donkey is [D#]getting restless,
[Cb]Getting heavier [F]as it grows
[A#m]And the jackal, [D#]spoilt and spiteful,
[Cb]Keeps biting at [F]my nose⠀
