Lyrics

Mule train, yeah, yeah
Mule train: clippetty-clopping over hill and plain
Seems as how they'll never stop
Clippetty-clop, clippetty-clop, clippetty, clippetty
Clippetty, clippetty, clippetty-clopping along

There's a plug of chaw tobaccy for a rancher in corolla;
A guitar for a cowboy way out in arizona;
A dress of callico for a pretty navajo
Get along mule, get along

Mule train, yeah, yeah
Mule train: clippetty-clopping along the mountain chain
Seems as though they're gonna recah the top
Clippetty-clop, clippetty-clop, clippetty, clippetty, c
Lippetty, clippetty, clippetty-clopping along

There's some cotton thread and needle for the folks away 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, yeah, yeah
Mule train: clippetty-clopping through the wind and rain
They'll keep going till they drop
Clippetty-clop, clippetty-clop, clippetty, clippetty
Clippetty, clippetty, clippetty-clopping 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

Get along mule, get along. (mule train.)
Get along, get along
