Mule train

D

1. Mule train!! Hyah, (crack) get along there ! (crack)

Clippety cloppin' over hill and plain,

seems as how they never stop, clippety clop, clippety clop,

clippety, clippety, clippety, clippety, clippety cloppin' along.

G D

There's a plug o'chaw tobacky for a rancher in Corona,

G D

a ghee-tar for a cowboy 'way out in Arizona,

G D

a dress of calico for a pretty Navajo.

G D

Get along, mule! (crack), get along, hyah! (crack)

D

2. Mule train!! Hyah, (crack) get along there ! (crack)

Clippety cloppin' through the wind and rain,

it seems as how they'll never drop, clippety clop, clippety clop

clippety, clippety, clippety, clippety, clippety cloppin' along.

G D

There's some cotton thread and needles for the folks away-out-yonder,

G D

a shovel for a miner who left his home to wander,

G D

some rheumatism pills for the settlers in the hills,

Get along, mule! (crack), hyah, get along now! (crack)

D

3. Mule train!! Hyah, (crack) get along there ! (crack)

Clippety cloppin' along the mountain chain,

soon they're gonna reach the top, clippety clop, clippety clop,

clippety, clippety, clippety, clippety, clippety cloppin' along.

G D

There's a letter full of sadness and it's black around the border,

G D

a pair of boots for someone who had them made to order,

G D

a Bible in the pack for the Reverend Mr. Black

G D

Get along, mule! (crack), get along now! (crack)

G D

Get along, mule! (crack), get along! (crack)

G D G D G D G D G D

Get along, get along, get along, get along! Get along!
