Conversation with a Mule - Pete Seeger
I saw a farmer and a mule a-plowin'
Over on the mountainside
As he went along he was a-grumblin'
As he plowed those furror deep and wide
Well as he went along a-plowin'
He was a swearin and snortin' all the way
I overheared his conversation with his mule
And this is what heared him say
Old mule your the son of a jack-ass
And I'm the image of God
Yeah here we work hitched together
Toilin' and a-tillin' the sod
I wonder if you work for me
Or I work for you old mule
Sometimes I think it's a partnership
Between a mule and a doggone fool
When plowin' we go the same distance
But I work harder than you
You skin the ground on four good legs
While I hobble along on two
So mule mathmatically speaking
Well I do more than you
Yes I do just twice the work per legs
Just twice as much as you
Now soon we'll be making the corn crop
That's probably split three ways
A third for you and a third for me
And a third for the landlords pay
You get your third you eat it
Your get the best and how
I split my third amongst eight kids
A banker six hens and a cow
So mule confidentially speakin'
Would you change places with me
Would you take up all my worries
And still contented be
Would you swap places I'm asking
Of course you know we couldn't
But would you if you could
Now tell the truth
You know
You're doggone right you wouldn't
