Whoa! Mule! Way down South around the house You really oughta hear them coons howl My pappy had a mule, his name was Shine Used to let the cows out all the time Whoa! Mule! He'd run down the road and stop and look back With sweat running all up and down his back I could get close enough to hang around his neck Last night our wagon he wrecked Whoa! Mule! Mule fool My pappy ran home and got his gun Ah, you oughta see old Shine run I could get close enough, you see Old Shine would never hurt me Whoa! Mule!
