Pa's old mule is a doggone fool
Stops on the railroad crossing
The whistle blew
That critter flew
There ain't no use in talkin

Pa fell out upon the ground
Ma fell out behind him
The mule got away
A week and a day
Before we could ever find him

Me and my gal went for a ride
We hooked that mule to the buggy
The sun of a gun
He broked a run
And how that girl did hug me

A sold that mule for fifty bucks
I sold him to my brother
He brought him back
With his head in a sack
And his hind feet tied together

Now the circus man he bought that mule
He thought that he would suit him
He killed a clown
And tore the carnival down
The Police had to shoot him

There's an existing thread on the song here

A quick search shows me this particular release came from a Rural Rhythm record. While those were a great way to get lots of music, you got no info; they were all shipped out in blank white cardboard sleeves that would have at most a RR ad on the back.

I've figured out which song its tune reminds me of:

No More Booeze

Maybe the one the OP was after? Who knows
