Here's another one that Open Mike mentioned:


SPOTTED MULE
As sung by Michael Gaither on "Spotted Mule and Other Tales"

Saw him out on Larkin's farm, standin' in the rain.
They take in horses to raise and train.
This odd beast was just standin' in a field.
I think I know how he feels.

CHORUS: Spotted mule down Old Adobe Road,
Dad was donkey; mama was a roan.
I pass him ev'ry day on my way back home.
Wonder if he feels alone?

He's no Silver or Trigger, you see.
Won't be in the movies or up on the TV,
But if I had my way, I'd saddle him and sing:
"Hi-yo, spotted mule, away!" CHORUS

Pegasus rose from the blood of Medusa.
Spotted mule's mom was a brown appaloosa.
A mule doesn't breed; he's a one-of-a-kind.
If you're a misfit, friend, you're a friend o' mine. CHORUS

Yeah, he unique like you and me and everyone I know.
Wonder if he feels alone? (3x)
