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