Whoa Mule - Bo Diddley

Way down South around the house

You really oughta hear them coons howl

My pappy had a mule, his name was Shine

Used to let the cows out all the time

He’d run down the road and stop and look back

With sweat running all up and down his back

I could get close enough to hang around his neck

Last night our wagon he wrecked

Whoa!

Mule!

Mule fool

My pappy ran home and got his gun

Ah, you oughta see old Shine run

I could get close enough, you see

Old Shine would never hurt me
