(Hyah, hyah) 

Mule train!! (Hyah, hyah) 
Mule
train!!
Clippety cloppin' over hill and plain
Seems as how they never
stop, clippety clop, clippety clop
Clippety, clippety, clippety, clippety,
clippety cloppin' along

There's a plug o'chaw tobacky for a rancher in
Corona
A ghee-tar for a cowboy 'way out in Arizona
A dress of calico for
a pretty Navajo
Get along, mule! , get along

Mule train!!
(Hyah, hyah) 
Mule train!!
Clippety
cloppin' o'er the mountain chain
Soon they're gonna reach the top, clippety
clop, clippety clop
Clippety, clippety, clippety, clippety, clippety
cloppin' along

There's some cotton thread and needles for the folks in
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


Mule train!! (Hyah, hyah)

Mule train!!
Clippety cloppin' through the
wind and rain
They'll keep goin' till they drop, clippety clop, clippety
clop
Clippety, clippety, clippety, clippety, clippety cloppin'
along

There's a letter full of sadness trimmed with 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

Get along, mule, get along!! (mule train)

 (Hyah, hyah)
 (Hyah,
hyah)
