Mule's Work Ain't Never Done

Now the wind is howling through the hollows

Hoot owls calling through the trees

There's a light in the kitchen window

Just waiting there on me

Well, I hope they saved the play, but I know they didn't

No, I don't know why I ain't home yet

Cause I'm a mule, I'm a mule

Mule's work ain't never done

Some folks wanna call me stubborn

I just call it slow

When the wind cracks across my shoulder

It's the only time I go

And I'm working just as hard as I did yesterday

And I swear, baby, I swear I'm on my way

Cause I'm a mule, I'm a mule

Mule's work ain't never done

All night long I was plowing in a field

All night long I was tugging on a wheel

All night long I've been saying that I'm leaving

And I know, I know you don't believe me
