This has been taken from song lyrics:

Bales of cocaine, fallin' from low-flyin' plane
I don't know who done dropped 'em, but I thank 'em just the same
Bales of cocaine, fallin' like a foriegn rain
My life changed completely by the low-flyin' planes

Could you please change the underlined sentence into standard English?

In standard English it means simply, "I don't know who dropped them."

Hope this helps.

I think it means "I don't know who has dropped them", and it's used as a present perfect, but I can't be sure. I have already heard of that form though.

If you don't have a sense of humor already, it's about time you buy one.
