Working for Brown Mule

# Wallace and Freddy Gene's Brown Mule Blues Verse 1: Wallace and Freddy Gene, two country boys so lean Working for Uncle Bud, in fields of green Every mornin' he'd say, with a twinkle in his eye "Boys, you want to work for some Brown Mule? Give it a try!" Chorus: Oh, the Brown Mule Blues, got us workin' all day Hitchin' up them mules, loadin' up that old sled Big water jugs and wet burlap bags Biscuits and sorghum, to make the day Verse 2: Double cut file and sharp hoes in hand Big leather gloves, but our feet bare in the sand Straw hats on our heads, as we climb on the sled Mules in the lead, across creek and field we tread (Repeat Chorus) Verse 3: With hoes in our hands, we thin out the rows Short ones are comin', as the hot sun glows A plug and a chew, to keep us goin' strong Home we head, as we sing this song Bridge: Off the sled we roll, with a great big chew Lyin' in the grass, gaspin' like fools Wallace looks at Freddy, says "Brother, we've been had!" "This Brown Mule's got a kick, that ain't half bad!" (Repeat Chorus) Outro: Oh, the Brown Mule Blues, got us every day But we keep on comin' back, for Uncle Bud's pay Wallace and Freddy Gene, learned their lesson well Brown Mule work's hard, but the stories we'll tell!
