Mule Train Lyrics

Mule Train
Mule train
Clippety cloppin' over hill and plain
Seems as how they'll never stop
Clippety clop, clippety clop
Clippety, clippety, clippety, clippety, clippety cloppin' along

There's a plug of chewy tobacky for a rancher in Corona
A guitar for a cowboy way out in Arizona
A dress of calico for a pretty Navajo
Get along, mule! Get along

Mule train
Mule train
Clippety cloppin' along 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
Mule train
Clippety cloppin' through the wind and rain
They'll keep goin' 'til they drop
Clippety clop, clippety clop
Clippety, clippety, clippety, clippety, clippety cloppin' 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
(mule train)
