Blue Mule

Ridin' with the wind She's come and gone again Some said she came from Georgia Some said from Tennessee But there never was another Like my old blue mule Lord know there'll never be She could jump right over a mountain She could outrun a diesel train Her mother was that blue ox Babe She was born in the eye of a hurricaine Well I raced my blue mule It was down in Tennessee Against Molly and the Ten Brooks All the people came to see Ten Brooks was the favorite People said I was a fool Ridin' high wide the gates And on my pretty blue mule Hey hey hey, blue mule, ridin' with the wind She's come and gone again Hey hey hey, blue mule, ride on, ride on, blue mule Around the track like a whirlpool Old Molly had the lead Then Ten Brooks nosed on out ahead Boys, it was a wild stampede Comin' in the final lap Neck and neck, it was a duel And my blue mule started flyin' Which was agianst the rules When we hit the finish line The very last time around I swear my blue mule she came out in front Fifty feet from the ground The crowd was cheerin' Ten Brooks It was a sight to see But overhead and out of sight Was my old blue mule and me Hey hey hey, blue mule, ridin' with the wind She's come and gone again Oh look at her ride Hey blur mule, ride on Ride, ride, ride, blue mule
