Kickin’ Mule

Key of G

Open in Bluegrass Book: transpose, play along

Verse

As I went down to the huckleberry picnic
Dinner all over the ground
Skeppers in the meat was nine foot deep
And the green flies walking all around

Verse

The biscuits in the oven was a-baking
Beefsteak frying in the pan
Pretty gal sitting in the parlour
Lord God A’mighty what a hand I stand

Chorus

Whoa there mule I tell you
Miss Liza you keep cool
I ain’t got time to kiss you now
I’m busy with this mule

Verse

My uncle had an old mule
His name was Simon Slick
Love anything I ever did see
But how that mule could kick

Verse

Went to feed that mule one morning
And he met me at the door with a smile
He backed one ear and he winked one eye
And he kicked me half a mile
