Tom: G
G
Use to have an old Banjo,
G D7
It was all strung up with twine,
G C
And the only song you could hear me sing was,
D7 G
I wish that gal was mine.
G
Well, I wish that gal was mine, boys.
D7
I wish that gal was mine,
G C
And the only song you could hear me sing,
D7 G
Was I wish that gal was mine.
[Chorus]
G
Whoa mule, you kicking mule,
D7
Whoa mule, I say,
G C
I ain't got time to kiss you now,
D7 G
My mule has run away.
[Verse 2]
G
Took my wife to the barn yard,
G D7
And I sit her down to supper,
G C
Well, she got choked on a turkey leg,
D7 G
And stuck her nose in the butter.
G
Stuck her nose in the butter,
G D7
Stuck her nose in the butter,
G C
Well, she got choked on a turkey leg,
D7 G
And stuck her nose in the butter.
[Chorus]
G
Whoa mule, you kicking mule,
G D7
Whoa mule, I say,
G C
Tie a knot in that old mules tail,
D7 G
Before he runs away.
[Verse 3]
G
Your face is like a coffee pot,
G D7
Your nose is like a spout,
G C
Your mouth is like a fireplace,
D7 G
With all the ashes out.
G
Well, With all the ashes out, boys,
G D7
With all the ashes out,
G C
Your mouth is like a fireplace,
D7 G
With all the ashes out.
[Chorus]
G
Whoa mule, you kicking mule,
G D7
Whoa mule, I say,
G C
I ain't got time to kiss you now,
D7 G
My mule has run away.
