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
 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
 Beaula 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 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
 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
