Connie Conway - Nero the Burro Lyrics

Nero the Burro
On the mountain top
Little old donkey
With no mom or pop

Travels all night and
Travels all day
Sometimes crossing on
The main highway

His ears are long
And his eyes are blue
His tail is sharp
And his legs are too

He's as smart as a cunning fox
Kind as a lamb
And strong as an ox

Nero the burro
Nero the king of the mountaintop

Nero never picks a fight
Although he can fight alright
Had a fight with a goat one day
Kicked that goat 'til he ran away

Nero loves the fishing man
Carries their packs through mud and sand
They all bring him oats and hay
To see him eat his heart away

Nero the burro
Nero the king of the mountaintop

See him run through the brush so dense
Just to reach a barbed wire fence
The one thing Nero loves the most
Rubbing his ears on an old fence post

When Nero rolls those big blue eyes
Looks like an angel in disguise
Nero with his heart so true
Seems to know just what to do

Nero the burro
Nero the king of the mountaintop
