Lyrics

Mule train (get up, hyah!)

Mule train (hyah!)

Clippity-cloppin' over hill and plains

Seems as how they never stop

Clippity-clop, clippity-clop

Clippity-clippity, clippity-clippity

Clippity-cloppin' along

Mule train (hyah!)

Mule train

Clippity-cloppin' on the mountain chain

Soon they're gonna reach the top

Clippity-clop, clippity-clop

Clippity-clippity, clippity-clippity

Clippity-cloppin' along

There's a plug of chaw tebaccer for the miner in Corona

A guitar for a cowboy way out in Arizona

A dress o' calico for the pretty Navajo

Get along, mule, get along

Mule train (get up, hyah!)

Mule train

Clippity cloppin' through the wind and rain

And keep it goin' 'til they drop

Clippity-clop, clippity-clop

Clippity-clippity, clippity-clippity

Clippity-cloppin' along

There's cotton thread an' needles for the folks way 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

Clippity-clop, clippity-clop

Clippity-clippity, clippity-clippity

Clippity-cloppin' along

Mule train, I'll skin you

Mule train
