Lyrics:

Whoa! Mule!
Way down South around the house
You really oughta hear them coons howl
My pappy had a mule, his name was Shine
Used to let the cows out all the time
Whoa! Mule!
He'd run down the road and stop and look back
With sweat running all up and down his back
I could get close enough to hang around his neck
Last night our wagon he wrecked
Whoa! Mule!
Mule fool
My pappy ran home and got his gun
Ah, you oughta see old Shine run
I could get close enough, you see
Old Shine would never hurt me
Whoa! Mule!
