Conversation with a Mule - Walter Brennan[00:00:00]

Written by：Bob Miller[00:00:03]

I seen a farmer and a mule a plowing[00:00:07]

Over on the moutain side[00:00:10]

The farmer was a munbling and a grumbling[00:00:13]

As he plowed them furror deep and wide[00:00:16]

Well as he went along a plowing[00:00:19]

He wasa swearin and snorting all the way[00:00:21]

I overheared his conversation with his mule[00:00:24]

And this is what I heared him say[00:00:27]

Old mule your the son of a jack ass[00:00:30]

And I'm the image of god[00:00:33]

Said here we work hitched together[00:00:35]

A toilin and a tilling the sod[00:00:37]

I wonder if you work for me[00:00:40]

Or I work for you old mule[00:00:42]

At times I think it's a partnership[00:00:44]

Between a mule and a doggone fool[00:00:47]

When plowin' we go the same distance[00:00:50]

But I work harder than you[00:00:52]

You skin the ground on four good legs[00:00:55]

I hobble along on two[00:00:57]

So mule mathmatically speaking[00:01:00]

Your four legs against my two[00:01:02]

I do just twice the work for legs[00:01:04]

Just twice as much as you[00:01:07]

Soon we'll be making the corn crop[00:01:09]

That's probably split three ways[00:01:12]

A third for you a third for me[00:01:14]

And a third for the landlords pay[00:01:17]

You take your third and eat it[00:01:19]

Your getting the best and how[00:01:21]

I split my third amongst eight kids[00:01:23]

A banker six hens and a cow[00:01:26]

Right here mule I might mention[00:01:29]

You only plow the ground[00:01:31]

I shuck the corn and husk it[00:01:33]

While you're hee hawingg around[00:01:35]

All fall and part of winter[00:01:38]

Ole mule you know that's true[00:01:40]

I break my back with a cotton sack[00:01:42]

Payin' off the mortgage on you[00:01:45]

So mule confidentially speaking[00:01:47]

Would you change places with me[00:01:50]

Would you take up all my worries[00:01:52]

And still contented be[00:01:54]

Would you swap places I'm asking[00:01:56]

Of course you know you couldn't[00:01:59]

Would you if you could now tell the truth[00:02:01]

You're dog gone right you wouldn't[00:02:07]
