Mule Train

MULE TRAIN.

MULE TRAIN, MULE TRAIN
CLIPETTY CLOPPING OVER HILL AND PLAIN
SEEMS AS HOW THEY’LL NEVER STOP
CLIPETTY CLOP CLIPETTY CLOP
CLIPETTY CLIPETTY CLIPETTY CLIPETTY
CLIPETTY CLOPPING ALONG

THERE’S A PLUG OF CHAW TOBACCY
FOR A RANCHER IN COROLLA
A GUITAR FOR A COWBOY WAY OUT IN ARIZONA
A DRESS OF CALICO FOR A PRETTY NAVAHO
GET ALONG MULE GET ALONG

MULE TRAIN, MULE TRAIN
CLIPETTY CLOPPING ON THE MOUNTAIN CHAIN
SEEMS AS HOW THEY’LL NEVER STOP
CLIPETTY CLOP CLIPETTY CLOP
CLIPETTY CLIPETTY CLIPETTY CLIPETTY
CLIPETTY CLOPPING ALONG

THERE’S SOME COTTON THREAD AND NEEDLE
FOR THE FOLKS WHO’S WAY OUT YONDER
A SHOVEL FOR A MINER WHO LEFT HIS HOME TO WANDER
SOME RHEUMATISM PILLS FOR THE SETTLERS IN THE HILLS
GET ALONG MULE GET ALONG

MULE TRAIN, MULE TRAIN
CLIPETTY CLOPPING THROUGH THE WIND AND RAIN
THEY’LL KEEP GOING TILL THEY DROP
CLIPETTY CLOP CLIPETTY CLOP
CLIPETTY CLIPETTY CLIPETTY CLIPETTY
CLIPETTY CLOPPING ALONG

THERE’S A LETTER FULL OF SADNESS
AND IT’S BLACK AROUND THE BORDER
A PAIR OF BOOTS FOR SOMEONE
WHO HAD THEM MADE TO ORDER
A BIBLE IN THE PACK FOR THE REVEREND MISTER BLACK
