G
Use to have an old Banjo,
   G                      D7
It was all strung up with twine,
        G                   C
And the only song you could hear me sing was,
   D7                G
I wish that gal was mine.

G
Well, I wish that gal was mine, boys.
                    D7
I wish that gal was mine,
        G                   C
And the only song you could hear me sing,
      D7                 G
Was I wish that gal was mine.

[Chorus]
G
Whoa mule, you kicking mule,
             D7
Whoa mule, I say,
  G                 C
I ain't got time to kiss you now,
   D7             G
My mule has run away.

[Verse 2]
G
Took my wife to the barn yard,
    G                 D7
And I sit her down to supper,
       G                  C
Well, she got choked on a turkey leg,
     D7                    G
And stuck her nose in the butter.

G
Stuck her nose in the butter,
   G                  D7
Stuck her nose in the butter,
       G                   C
Well, she got choked on a turkey leg,
     D7                    G
And stuck her nose in the butter.

[Chorus]
G
Whoa mule, you kicking mule,
   G          D7
Whoa mule, I say,
 G                 C
Tie a knot in that old mules tail,
   D7            G
Before he runs away.

[Verse 3]
G
Your face is like a coffee pot,
     G               D7
Your nose is like a spout,
  G                    C
Your mouth is like a fireplace,
     D7             G
With all the ashes out.

 G
Well, With all the ashes out, boys,
     G             D7
With all the ashes out,
     G                C
Your mouth is like a fireplace,
     D7             G
With all the ashes out.

[Chorus]
G
Whoa mule, you kicking mule,
     G        D7
Whoa mule, I say,
    G                C
I ain't got time to kiss you now,
    D7             G
My mule has run away.
