Hyah, hyah)
Mule train!! (Hyah, hyah) Mule train!! Clippety cloppin' over hill and plain Seems as how they never stop, clippety clop, clippety clop Clippety, clippety, clippety, clippety, clippety cloppin' along
There's a plug o'chaw tobacky for a rancher in Corona A ghee-tar for a cowboy 'way out in Arizona A dress of calico for a pretty Navajo Get along, mule! , get along
Mule train!! (Hyah, hyah) Mule train!! Clippety cloppin' o'er the mountain chain Soon they're gonna reach the top, clippety clop, clippety clop Clippety, clippety, clippety, clippety, clippety cloppin' along
There's some cotton thread and needles for the folks in way-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!! (Hyah, hyah) Mule train!! Clippety cloppin' through the wind and rain They'll keep goin' till they drop, clippety clop, clippety clop Clippety, clippety, clippety, clippety, clippety cloppin' along
There's a letter full of sadness trimmed with 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)
(Hyah, hyah) (Hyah, hyah)
