Whoa Mule - Folk Song lyrics/video


Traditional folk song video,  lyrics for the Whoa Mule song collected in the mountains of Western North Carolina.



"Whoa Mule"

Johnson bought him an old gray mule, and called him Simon slick
He'd wall his eyes and switch his tail, um! how that mule could kick.

Whoa Mule Whoa, Whoa Mule I holler
Tie a knot in that old mules tail
And cram him in the collar.

Take him on down below the house, and hitch him in to plow
With a gee and a haw, its gee and haw, with a gee and a haw Whoa now.

Whoa Mule Whoa, whoa mule I said
Take your seat little Liza Jane
And hold tight to the sled.

    I am searching for the mountain dulcimer tablature for "Whoa Mule" and "How Many Biscuits Can you Eat this morning" Any notion of where I can find them? Thank you so much. Jane Naylor email at janenaylor@yahoo.com
