Donkey Day

who shall rescue me Donkey?
Friends I have no advocate
on whose shoulder to lean is thirst
come my day to reconcile with God

for daily burdens no relief
tomorrow and ever nothing new
my lord has thought I'll ever beef
come my day to reconcile with God

Early I wake up to water homesteads
The heavy load a faithfull back bruise
A long way to go my load flatter
come my day to reconcile with God

too slim I plough no break
back home no food dogs full
our rich house no longer mine
come my day to reconcile with God

my cold food time no to thaw
my prisonous home for rest
my proceeds the lords table
come my day to reconcile with God
