Blue Mule

Lyrics:

• 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
