(Key of G. Chords G, D, G, C, D, G)

Instrumental Intro (verse)

(Verse 1)

G                                                                          D

Used to have an old banjo, all strung up with twine,

G                               C                             D                             G

the only song you’d hear me sing was “Wish that Gal Was Mine”

(Chorus)

G                                                                       D

Whoah, Mule, you kickin mule. Whoa mule, I say

G                          C                           D                      G

Ain’t got time to kiss you now, my mule has run away

(Instrumental verse)

(Verse 2) Took my wife to the barnyard, sat her down for supper,

she got choked on a turkey leg, stubbed her nose in the butter

(Chorus)

(Instrumental verse)

Your face is like a coffee pot, your nose is like a spout,

your mouth is like a fireplace with all the ashes out

(Chorus, twice)

(instrumental, verse out)
