Verses:
Used to have an old banjo, all strung up with twine,
Only song you could hear me sing was, "I Wish That Gal Was Mine."
 
Took my wife to the barn yard, sat her down to supper,
She got choked on a turkey leg, and stuck her nose in the butter.
 
Chorus:
Whoa mule, you kicking mule, whoa mule, I say.
I ain't got time to kiss you now, my mule has run away.
