I Had a Mule

by The Limeliters

on Silly Songs And Modern Lullabies (1980), Through Children's Eyes (1962)

Sing in the Spring
Sing in the Fall
Sing when I hear my baby bawl
Gonna sing all day
All night too
Hush your cry I'll sing for you

I had a mule and his name was Jack
(I had a mule and his name was Jack)
When I climbed upon his back
Well he darn near died of a heart attack

Sing in the Spring
Sing in the Fall
Sing when I hear my baby bawl
Gonna sing all day
All night too
Hush your cry I'll sing for you

I had a parrot all yellow and green
(I had a parrot all yellow and green)
Silliest bird you ever seen
He could swear like a big Marine

Sing in the Spring
Sing in the Fall
Sing when I hear my baby bawl
Gonna sing all day
All night too
Hush your cry I'll sing for you

Had a canary all white and blue
(Had a canary all white and blue)
I'll tell you all that bird could do
Is play the harp and yodel too

Sing in the Spring
Sing in the Fall
Sing when I hear my baby bawl
Gonna sing all day
All night too
Hush your cry I'll sing for you

I had a horse and his name was Tex
(I had a horse and his name was Tex)
Signed his name with an "X"
And made his living forging checks

Sing in the Spring
Sing in the Fall
Sing when I hear my baby bawl
Gonna sing all day
All night too
Hush your cry I'll sing for you

I had a lamb I used to keep
(I had a lamb I used to keep)
When I told him to go to sleep
He counted people instead of sheep

Sing in the Spring
Sing in the Fall
Sing when I hear my baby bawl
Gonna sing all day
All night too
Hush your cry I'll sing for you

Once I had a tall giraffe
(Once I had a tall giraffe)
My how that giraffe could laugh
He put beer in his bubble bath

Sing in the Spring
Sing in the Fall
Sing when I hear my baby bawl
Gonna sing all day
All night too
Hush your cry I'll sing for you

I love babies short and tall
(I love babies short and tall)
But round or fat big or small
Love my baby best of all

Sing in the Spring
Sing in the Fall
Sing when I hear my baby bawl
Gonna sing all day
All night too
Hush your cry I'll sing for you

Sing in the Spring
Sing in the Fall
Sing when I hear my baby bawl
Gonna sing all day
All night too
Hush your cry I'll sing for you
