Mule Train

Mule Train
Mule train, yeah, yeah.

Mule train: clippetty-clopping over hill and plain.

Seems as how they’ll never stop.
Clippetty-clop, clippetty-clop, clippetty, clippetty,
clippetty, clippetty, clippetty-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 callico for a pretty Navajo.

Get along mule, get along.

Mule train, yeah, yeah.

Mule train: clippetty-clopping along the mountain chain.

Seems as though they're gonna recah the top.
Clippetty-clop, clippetty-clop, clippetty, clippetty,
clippetty, clippetty, clippetty-clopping along.

There’s some cotton thread and needle for the folks away 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, yeah, yeah.

Mule train: clippetty-clopping through the wind and rain.

They'll keep going till they drop.

Clippetty-clop, clippetty-clop, clippetty, clippetty,
clippetty, clippetty, clippetty-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 Mr Black.

Get along mule, get along.

Get along mule, get along. Mule train.

Get along, get along
