Conversation with a Mule - Pete Seeger (皮特·西格)[00:00:00]

I saw a farmer and a mule a-plowin'[00:00:11]

Over on the mountainside[00:00:14]

As he went along he was a-grumblin'[00:00:17]

As he plowed those furror deep and wide [00:00:19]

Well as he went along a-plowin'[00:00:22]

He was a swearin and snortin' all the way[00:00:24]

I overheared his conversation with his mule[00:00:27]

And this is what heared him say [00:00:30]

Old mule your the son of a jack-ass[00:00:32]

And I'm the image of God[00:00:36]

Yeah here we work hitched together[00:00:38]

Toilin' and a-tillin' the sod [00:00:41]

I wonder if you work for me[00:00:43]

Or I work for you old mule[00:00:46]

Sometimes I think it's a partnership[00:00:49]

Between a mule and a doggone fool [00:00:51]

When plowin' we go the same distance[00:00:55]

But I work harder than you [00:00:58]

You skin the ground on four good legs[00:01:01]

While I hobble along on two [00:01:03]

So mule mathmatically speaking[00:01:06]

Well I do more than you[00:01:08]

Yes I do just twice the work per legs[00:01:11]

Just twice as much as you [00:01:13]

Now soon we'll be making the corn crop[00:01:17]

That's probably split three ways[00:01:20]

A third for you and a third for me[00:01:23]

And a third for the landlords pay [00:01:25]

You get your third you eat it[00:01:28]

Your get the best and how[00:01:31]

I split my third amongst eight kids[00:01:33]

A banker six hens and a cow [00:01:35]

So mule confidentially speakin'[00:01:39]

Would you change places with me [00:01:42]

Would you take up all my worries[00:01:44]

And still contented be [00:01:47]

Would you swap places I'm asking[00:01:49]

Of course you know we couldn't[00:01:52]

But would you if you could [00:01:54]

Now tell the truth[00:01:55]

You know[00:01:57]

You're doggone right you wouldn't[00:01:57]
