[Chorus]
Mule train, (*hyah, hyah*), mule train
Clippity clopping over hill and plain
Seems as how they'll never stop
Clippity clop, clippity clop
Clippity, clippity, clippity, clippity
Clippity clopping along

[Verse 1]
There's a plug of chaw tobaccy for a rancher in Corona
A guitar for a cowboy way out in Arizona
A dress of calico for a pretty Navajo
Get along mule, get along

[Chorus]
Mule train, (*hyah, hyah*), mule train
Clippity clopping over mile and chain
Soon their gonna reach the top
Clippity clop, clippity clop
Clippity, clippity, clippity, clippity
Clippity clopping along

[Verse 2]
There's some cotton thread and needle
For the folks who's 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
[Chorus]
Mule train, (*hyah, hyah*), mule train
Clippity clopping through the rain
They'll keep goin' to the top
Clippity clop, clippity clop
Clippity, clippity, clippity, clippity
Clippity clopping along

[Verse 3]
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

[Outro]
Get along mule, get along
(Mule train)
