I've got a mule He's such a fool He never paid no heed I lit a fire beneath his tail And then he showed some speed. The mule refused to vote for me Upon the courthouse steps He learned I was a Republican And he's a Democrat. Oh go along mule Don't you roll them eyes You can change a fool But a doggone mule Is a mule until he dies. Go along mule Don't you roll them eyes You can change a fool But a doggone mule Is a mule until he dies. I drove down to the graveyard once Where people rest divine But when a black cat crossed my path I surely changed my mind. A cowslip ain't no kinda slip To slip upon a cow That's why a catfish never answers To a cat's meow. Oh go along mule Don't you roll them eyes You can change a fool But a doggone mule Is a mule until he dies. Go along mule Don't you roll them eyes You can change a fool But a doggone mule Is a mule until he dies.
