Verse 4

I married me a country girl and I knew I'd found a winner
I told her to fix a couple chickens and a ham for dinner
She said, "If you eat all that stuff you'll bend over gaggin'"
I said, "Don't worry 'bout the mule, now, you just load the wagon"

Chorus

She asked if I want children, I said, "Eight or ten"
"But then we'd better soon get started," she said with a grin
"But feeding all that bunch is gonna keep your butt a-draggin'"
I said, "Don't worry 'bout the mule, now, you just load the wagon"
