A mule is bobbing its head to the beat.

Time was I knew a mule
What dealt/caused me hard times.
Down by the ol' water mill,
She weren't no friend of mine.

Nasty mule's a shameless mess,
Yeah, sneak-a-peak up the farmer's daughter's dress.
Seen her flip the bird my way,
That mule ain't no good, yeah, it's sad to say.

Time was I was a fool,
Time was, I knew a mule.

A mule is stomping its hoof to the beat
Headin' down to the farmer's barn
Where the mules go bobbing their heads in the water trough

A mule is swishing its tail to the beat
Headin' down to the farmer's barn
Where the mules go bobbing their heads in the water trough

SOLO: finger piano

A mule is hauling its plow to the beat
Headin' down to the farmer's barn
Where the mules go bobbing their heads in the water trough

A mule is rearin' up spooked to the beat
Headin' down to the farmer's barn
Where the mules go bobbing their heads in the water trough

A mule is chomping a carrot to the beat
Headin' down to the farmer's barn
Where the mules go bobbing their heads in the water trough

A mule is wearing a straw hat to the beat
Headin' down to the farmer's barn

And I remember when the winter came,
We'd burrow ourselves together underneath the hay,
The bitter country wind sneakin' into our stable bay.
Yeah, that barn door latch never did hold quite tight,
But at least we held each other, and that's alright.

And if that barnyard slut don't sing,
Go and get the milkmaid to do her thing.
And if this mule life gets you down,
You can go and watch the weather vane spinnin' round.
