Mule Train (11-07-49)-Nat King Cole

Mule train, yeah, yeah. Mule train: clippetty-clopping over hill and plain. Seems as how they’ll never stop. Clippetty-clop, clippetty-clop, clippetty, clippetty, clippetty, clippetty, clippetty-clopping along. There’s a plug of chaw tobaccy for a rancher in Corolla; A guitar for a cowboy way out in Arizona; A dress of callico for a pretty Navajo. Get along mule, get along. Mule train, yeah, yeah. Mule train: clippetty-clopping along the mountain chain. Seems as though they're gonna recah the top. Clippetty-clop, clippetty-clop, clippetty, clippetty, c lippetty, clippetty, clippetty-clopping along. There’s some cotton thread and needle for the folks away out yonder. A shovel for a miner who left his home to wander. Some rheumatism pills for the settlers in the hills. Get along mule, get along. Mule train, yeah, yeah. Mule train: clippetty-clopping through the wind and rain. They'll keep going till they drop. Clippetty-clop, clippetty-clop, clippetty, clippetty, clippetty, clippetty, clippetty-clopping along. There’s a letter full of sadness and it’s black around the border. A pair of boots for someone who had them made to order. A Bible in the pack for the Reverend Mr Black. Get along mule, get along. Get along mule, get along. (Mule train.) Get along, get along.
