Whoa mule, whoa mule   We're dirty but we're dreaming   Whoa mule, whoa mule   We'll both get there someday      All you ramblers, you silk tongue gamblers   Listen to my tale   It won't take long to sing you my song   Full of trouble and despair      So fair thee well, you troubadours   Whose pockets have no lining   I can tell you that all pastures stay green   But you know that I'd be lying      Whoa mule, whoa mule   We're dirty but we're dreaming   Whoa mule, whoa mule   We'll both get there someday      My own true love is a raven haired girl   Who lives way back down the hollow   I take her by her lily white hair   And into the woods we wonder      Her daddy was a river man   As mad as a hatter   Her mama, she's as soft as snow   But that don't really matter      Whoa mule, whoa mule   We're dirty but we're dreaming   Whoa mule, whoa mule   We'll both get there someday      Sometimes a road is rocky and hard   Full of dangers unrelenting   Just take great care to follow your stars   Let the good times come aplenty      Whoa mule, whoa mule   We're dirty but we're dreaming   Whoa mule, whoa mule   We'll both get there someday      Whoa mule, whoa mule   We're dirty but we're dreaming   Whoa mule, whoa mule   We'll both get there someday
