WHOA, MULE, WHOA
As recorded by Gid Tanner & the Skillet Lickers, 1934-03-29

1. Three bells a-ringin', smoke ...(?)
...(?) mule ...(?)

CHORUS 1: Whoa, mule, whoa; whoa, mule, I holler
...(?)

2. If I had a broad-brim hat ...(?) crown,
Go to see some pretty little girl till I leave this town.

CHORUS 2: Whoa, mule, whoa; whoa, mule, I say.
Ain't got time to fool with you; my mule has run away.

3. Times is getting hard; money's gettin' sca'ce [scarce].
If times don't get no better here, I'm bound to leave this place.

4. See my mule a-comin'; he's got his ears laid back.
If he gets to kickin' that train, gonna kick it off the track.

5. ...(?)
Shoes and stockin's in her hand and foot all over the floor.

6. Asked that gal to marry me; said she'd see me later.
Mashed my ...(?) all over my face, a great big Irish pertater.
