Bill D Origins: Whoa Mule (43) ADD: Whoa Mule ^^ 24 Jul 98


"Whoa, mule Whoa, mule, I holler
Tie a knot in that mule's tail, So he wont slip through the collar

Cho: Whoa, old mule (or, just 'whoa, Mule' depending on how you want to hold or stress the phrase...'...anyway...)
"Whoa, old mule, Miss Liza, you keep cool
"Aint got time to kiss you now, I'm busy with this mule"

"He really was a kicker He had a hard back.
He met the Texas railroad train And kicked it off the track.

Cho:

I would not marry a slim girl I'll tell you boys, it's true.
Pull the string in the bathtub, I'm afraid she might go through.

Cho:

Mary had a little cat, It swallowed a ball of yarn.
When those little cats came out, They all had sweaters on.

Cho:

We had a goat down on our farm, Who swallowed old tin cans.
And when those little goats was born, They came in Ford sedans.

Cho:

We had a dog down on our farm, Wouldn't bark no how.
Then he swallowed an Ingersoll And he's a watchdog now!

Cho:

(Ingersoll was a cheap 'people's watch)

from- 'Dulcimer- old time and traditional music' Ralph Lee Smith & Mary Louise Hollowell- Skyline Records, 1973 ^^
