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.
