Get Behind The Mule |
|
Molly be damned 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 coffin 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 |
|
(Chorus) |
|
Dusty trail from Atchison to Placerville |
|
On the wreck of the Weaverville stage |
|
Beaula fired on Beatty for a lemonade |
|
I was stirring my brandy with a nail boys |
|
Stirring my brandy with a nail |
|
(Chorus) |
|
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 |
|
(Chorus) |
|
Punctuated birds on the power line |
|
In a Studebaker with the Birdie Joe Joaks |
|
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 |
|
(Chorus) |
|
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 |
|
(Chorus) |
