(Hyah, hyah)
|
|
Mule train!! (Hyah, hyah)
|
Mule train!!
|
Clippety cloppin' over hill and plain
|
Seems as how they never stop, clippety clop, clippety clop
|
Clippety, clippety, clippety, clippety, clippety cloppin' along
|
|
There's a plug o'chaw tobacky for a rancher in Corona
|
A ghee-tar for a cowboy 'way out in Arizona
|
A dress of calico for a pretty Navajo
|
Get along, mule! , get along
|
|
Mule train!! (Hyah, hyah)
|
Mule train!!
|
Clippety cloppin' o'er the mountain chain
|
Soon they're gonna reach the top, clippety clop, clippety clop
|
Clippety, clippety, clippety, clippety, clippety cloppin' along
|
|
There's some cotton thread and needles for the folks in 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!! (Hyah, hyah)
|
Mule train!!
|
Clippety cloppin' through the wind and rain
|
They'll keep goin' till they drop, clippety clop, clippety clop
|
Clippety, clippety, clippety, clippety, clippety cloppin' along
|
|
There's a letter full of sadness trimmed with black around the border
|
A pair of boots for someone who had them made to order
|
A bible in the pack for the Reverend Mr. Black
|
Get along, mule! , get along
|
|
Get along, mule, get along!! (mule train)
|
|
(Hyah, hyah)
|
(Hyah, hyah)
