[00:00.596] John Hammond,Jr.-Get Behind the Mule
[00:11.385] Molly be damned smote jimmy the harp
[00:13.685] With a horrid little
[00:14.535] pistol and a lariat
[00:16.185] She's goin to the bottom
[00:17.341] And she's goin down the drain
[00:18.793] Said she wasn't big
[00:19.793] enough to carry it
[00:22.179] She got to get behind the mule
[00:25.405] In the morning and plow
[00:27.981] She got to get behind the mule
[00:30.388] In the morning and plow
[00:32.889] She got to get behind the mule
[00:34.991] In the morning and plow
[00:37.691] She got to get behind the mule
[00:40.43] In the morning and plow
[00:43.545] Choppity chop goes
[00:44.595] the axe in the woods
[00:45.696] You gotta meet me
[00:46.458] by the fall down tree
[00:48.360] Shovel of dirt upon a coffin lid
[00:50.410] And I know they'll
[00:51.550] come lookin for me
[00:52.936] And I know they'll
[00:53.836] come a-lookin for me
[00:56.88] Got to get behind the mule

[01:19.461] He stood in the road and he cried
[01:22.304] He couldn't make her love him
[01:23.505] Couldn't make her stay
[01:24.404] But tell the good lord that he tried
[01:26.749] tell the good lord that he tried
[01:30.00] Got to get behind the mule
