Get Behind The Mule |
| Molly b’Damn smote Jimmy the Harp |
| With a horrid little pistol and a lariat |
| She’s goin to the bottom |
| And she’s goin down the drain |
| Said she wasn’t big enough to carry it |
| She got to get behind the mule |
| In the morning and plow |
| She got to get behind the mule |
| In the morning and plow |
| She got to get behind the mule |
| In the morning and plow |
| She got to get behind the mule |
| In the morning and plow |
| Choppity chop goes the axe in the woods |
| You gotta meet me by the fall down tree |
| Shovel of dirt upon a coffee lid |
| And I know they’ll come lookin' for me boys |
| And I know they’ll come a-lookin' for me |
| Got to get behind the mule |
| In the morning and plow |
| Got to get behind the mule |
| In the morning and plow |
| Got to get behind the mule |
| In the morning and plow |
| Got to get behind the mule |
| In the morning and plow |
| Big Jack Earl was 8'1' |
| He stood in the road and he cried |
| He couldn’t make her love him |
| Couldn’t make her stay |
| But tell the good Lord that he tried |
| Got to get behind the mule |
| In the morning and plow |
| Got to get behind the mule |
| In the morning and plow |
| Got to get behind the mule |
| In the morning and plow |
| Got to get behind the mule |
| In the morning and plow |
| Dusty trail from Atchison to Placerville |
| On the wreck of the Weaverville stage |
| Beulah fired on Beatty for a lemonade |
| I was stirring my brandy with a nail boys |
| Stirring my brandy with a nail |
| Got to get behind the mule |
| In the morning and plow |
| Got to get behind the mule |
| In the morning and plow |
| Got to get behind the mule |
| In the morning and plow |
| Got to get behind the mule |
| In the morning and plow |
| Well the rampaging sons of the widow James |
| Jack the Cutter and the pock marked kid |
| Had to stand naked at the bottom of the cross |
| And tell the good lord what they did |
| Tell the good lord what they did |
| Got to get behind the mule |
| In the morning and plow |
| Got to get behind the mule |
| In the morning and plow |
| Got to get behind the mule |
| In the morning and plow |
| Got to get behind the mule |
| In the morning and plow |
| Punctuated birds on the power line |
| In a Studebaker with the Birdie Joe Hoaks |
| I’m diggin all the way to China with a silver spoon |
| While the hangman fumbles with the noose, boys |
| The hangman fumbles with the noose |
| Got to get behind the mule |
| In the morning and plow |
| Got to get behind the mule |
| In the morning and plow |
| Got to get behind the mule |
| In the morning and plow |
| Got to get behind the mule |
| In the morning and plow |
| Pin your ear to the wisdom post |
| Pin your eye to the line |
| Never let the weeds get higher than the garden |
| Always keep a sapphire in your mind |
| Always keep a diamond in your mind |
| Got to get behind the mule |
| In the morning and plow |
| Got to get behind the mule |
| In the morning and plow |
| Got to get behind the mule |
| In the morning and plow |
| Got to get behind the mule |
| In the morning and plow |
