Lyrics
- When my baby she left me,
- Left me with a mule to ride,
- When my baby she left me,
- Left me with a mule to ride,
- When that train left the station,
- That old mule laid down and died.
- Just give my baby,
- A brand new twenty dollar bill,
- I done give my baby.
- A brand new twenty dollar bill,
- If that don't get her back,
- I swear this old shotgun will.
- Standing down by the landing,
- Big old board on the door,
- Standing down by the landing,
- Big old board on the door,
- When I say goodbye,
- Won't see that girl no more.
- Look out baby,
- Gonna spread the news,
- Look out baby,
- Got to spread the news,
- Treat me so bad,
- I'm buried with these blues.
- When my baby she left me,
- Left me with a mule to ride,
- When my baby she left me,
- Left me with a mule to ride,
- When that train left the station,
- That old mule laid down and died.
- Yeah............
