MULE TRAIN
Recorded by: Gene Autry
Words and music by: J. Lange, H. Heath & F. Glickman

[*D] Mule Train! (Haw!) [stay in D]
Mule Train! (*)
Clipity-Clopin' over hill and plain
Seems as how they never stop
Clipity-Clop, Clipity-Clop
Clipity-Clipity, Clipity-Clipity
Clipity-Clopin [A7] a-[D] long.

There's a [G] plug of chawin' tabaccer
For a [D] rancher in Corona
A [G] guitar for a Cowboy
Way [D] out in Arizona
A [G] dress of Calico
For a [D] pretty Navajo
Git along mule [A7] git a-[D] long.

Mule Train! (Haw!)
Mule Train! (*)
Clipity-Clopin' along the mountain range
Soon they're gonna reach the top
Clipity-Clop, Clipity-Clop
Clipity-Clipity, Clipity-Clipity
Clipity-Clopin' along.

There's some cotton, thread and needles
For the folks a way out yonder
A shovel for a miner
Who left his home to wander
Some rhumatism pills
For the settlers in the hills
Git along mule, git along.

Mule Train! (Haw!)
Mule Train! (*)
Clipity-Clopin' thru the wind and the rain
They'll be goin' till they drop
Clipity-Clop, Clipity-Clop
Clipity-Clipity, Clipity-Clipity
Clipity-Clopin' along.

There's a letter full of sadness
It's black around the border
A pair of boots for someone
Who had 'em made to order
A bible in the pack
For the Reverend Mr. Black
Git along mule, git along.

Note. [*] = Whip/Pop sound
