Let the good times come aplenty
As mad as a hatter
Her daddy was a river man
We'll both get there someday
We're dirty but we're dreaming
Full of dangers unrelenting
Whoa mule, whoa mule
All you ramblers, you silk tongue gamblers
Whoa mule, whoa mule
Whose pockets have no lining
My own true love is a raven haired girl
Sometimes a road is rocky and hard
Listen to my tale
We'll both get there someday
Whoa mule, whoa mule
Whoa mule, whoa mule
Who lives way back down the hollow
So fair thee well, you troubadours
We're dirty but we're dreaming
Whoa mule, whoa mule
But that don't really matter
But you know that I'd be lying
We'll both get there someday
Whoa mule, whoa mule
Her mama, she's as soft as snow
Whoa mule, whoa mule
I can tell you that all pastures stay green
Just take great care to follow your stars
We're dirty but we're dreaming
We're dirty but we're dreaming
We'll both get there someday
It won't take long to sing you my song
Whoa mule, whoa mule
Full of trouble and despair
And into the woods we wonder
Whoa mule, whoa mule
I take her by her lily white hair
