Lyrics

  1. Mule train, mule train
    Clippity-cloppin’ over hill and plain
    Seems as how they never stop
    Clippity-clop, Clippity-clop
    Clippity, clippity, clippity
    Clippity, clippity, cloppin’ along
    There’s a plug of chaw tobacco
    For a miner in Corona
    There’s a guitar for a cowboy
    ‘Way out in Arizona
    There’s a dress of calico
    For a pretty Navajo
    Git along, mule, git along
  2. Mule train, mule train
    Clippity-cloppin’ ‘long the mountain chain
    Soon they’re gonna reach the top
    Clippity-clop, Clippity-clop
    Clippity, clippity, clippity
    Clippity, clippity, cloppin’ along
    There’s some cotton thread and needles
    For the folks away out yonder
    There’s a shovel for a miner
    Who left his home to wander
    There’s some rheumatism pills
    For the settlers in the hills
    Git along, mule, git along
  3. Mule train, mule train
    Clippity-cloppin’ through the wind and rain
    They’ll keep goin’ till they drop
    Clippity-clop, Clippity-clop
    Clippity, clippity, clippity
    Clippity, clippity, cloppin’ along
    There’s a letter full of sadness
    And it’s black around the border
    There’s a pair of boots for someone
    Who had them made to order
    There’s a bible in the pack
    For the Reverend Mister Black
    Git along, mule, git along
    Git along, mule, git along
