Once I had an old grey mule his name was Simon Slick
He cocked his ears and humped his back and man, that mule would kick

How that mule would kick he'd kick 'til his dying breath
He drove his hind feet down his throat and stomped himself to death.

Whoa mule...

I saw a possum in the road blind as he could be
He jumped the fence and whipped my dog and he bristled up at me.

Whoa mule whoa, whoa mule I say,
tie a knot in that mule's tail that mule gonna run away.
