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

[00:00:02] Written by：Bob Miller

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:00:54] You skin the ground on four good legs

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

[00:01:00] So mule mathmatically speaking

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:01:16] And a third for the landlords pay

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:01:47] So mule confidentially speaking

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

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

[00:01:54] And still contented be

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

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

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

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