Mule Boogie Songtext
von Sheb Wooley

Once I knew a little kickin′ mule
His name was Simon Slick
He'd back his head with a dreamy eye
Oh, how that mule could kick

He had the mule boogie, mule boogie
With the boogie bee

He bit a Thomas cat in two
Pulverized a hog
He killed out nineteen Chinamen
And swallowed a yellow dog

He had the mule boogie, mule boogie
With the boogie bee


The mule, he was a kicker
He′d raise you up slicker
And knock you down quicker
Than a wildcat licker
He'd eat you like a micker
And a hucklebell sticker
Kick you no quicker
Than you'd ever be found
He had the mule boogie, mule boogie
With the boogie bee

I took him to a blacksmith shop
To have his mouth made small
He opened his mouth so doggone wide
He swallowed the shop and all

He had the mule boogie
With the boogie bee

He bit the ears from off a frog
He broke an elephant′s back
He stopped a Texas railway train
And kicked it off the track

He had the mule boogie
With the boogie bee


The mule, he was a kicker
He′d raise you up slicker
And knock you down quicker
Than a wildcat licker
He'd eat you like a micker
And a hucklebell sticker
Kick you no quicker
Than you′d ever be found
He had the mule boogie
With the boogie bee
