Flop-Eared Mule

Use to have an old Banjo
It was all strung up with twine
And the only song you could hear me sing was
I wish that gal was mine
Well, I wish that gal was mine, boys
I wish that gal was mine
And the only song you could hear me sing
Was I wish that gal was mine
Whoa mule, you kicking mule
Whoa mule, I say
I ain’t got time to kiss you now
My mule has run away
Took my wife to the barn yard
And I sit her down to supper
Well, she got choked on a turkey leg
And stuck her nose in the butter
Stuck her nose in the butter
Stuck her nose in the butter
Well, she got choked on a turkey leg
And stuck her nose in the butter
Whoa mule, you kicking mule
Whoa mule, I say
Tie a knot in that old mules tail
Before he runs away
Your face is like a coffee pot
Your nose is like a spout
Your mouth is like a fireplace
With all the ashes out
Well, With all the ashes out, boys
With all the ashes out
Your mouth is like a fireplace
With all the ashes out
Whoa mule, you kicking mule
Whoa mule, I say
I ain’t got time to kiss you now
My mule has run away
