Whoa mule whoa
Whoa mule I say
I ain’t got time to kiss you now
The mule has run away

Now miss Mary take your seat
You better keep cool
I ain’t got time to kiss you now
I’m foolin’ with this mule

If I had a needle and thread
As fine as I could sew
I’d sew little Betty to my shirt
And down the road I’d go

The hardest work I ever done
Was dig around a pine
The easiest work I ever done
Was love that gal of mine

Whoa mule I tell you
Whoa mule I holler
Tie a knot in that old mule’s tail
And ram him through the collar

[1] Whoa mule whoa
Whoa mule I [5] say
I [1] ain’t got time to [4] kiss you now
The [5] mule has run a-[1]-way

Now miss Mary take your seat
You better keep cool
I ain’t got time to kiss you now
I’m foolin’ with this mule

If I had a needle and thread
As fine as I could sew
I’d sew little Betty to my shirt
And down the road I’d go

The hardest work I ever done
Was dig around a pine
The easiest work I ever done
Was love that gal of mine

Whoa mule I tell you
Whoa mule I holler
Tie a knot in that old mule’s tail
And ram him through the collar
