I've got a mule, he's such a fool
He never pays no heed
I built a fire right under him
And then I made some speed
Oh go 'long mule, don't you roll them eyes
You can change a fool but a doggone mule
Is a mule until he dies
Oh Jerry Aches and Dottie Pain
Got married on the train
And now they'll say that Georgy woods
Is full of Aches and Pains
Oh go 'long mule, don't you roll them eyes
You can change a fool but a doggone mule
Is a mule until he dies
He, he, hehe, ha, ha haha etc
I drove right down to the graveyard once
For to see those pals of mine
But when that black man crossed my path
I sure, lord, changed my mind
Oh go 'long mule, don't you roll them eyes
You can change a fool but a doggone mule
Is a mule until he dies
I bought some biscuits for my dog
And I laid them on the shelf
I slept so hard, I shot the dog
And ate that bread myself
Oh go 'long mule, don't you roll them eyes
You can change a fool but a doggone mule
Is a mule until he dies
He, he, hehe …
A man way down in Georgy
Pulled his gun on me
But when he fired that second shot
I pa**ed through Tennessee
Oh go 'long mule, don't you roll them eyes
You can change a fool but a doggone mule
Is a mule until he dies
