Just as the rain was over And the snow was a-fallin’ fast Got my mule harnessed, boys, And got him hitched at last 
Drove up to Miss Lizy’s All for to take a sleigh Would not tell about that mule I’se scared he’d run away 
Chorus: Whoa, I tell you Whoa, I say Whoa, I tell you Hold on to the sleigh 
Well, off to town we went All for to take a ride Never felt better in the world With Liza by my side 
Said, ’Hold tight, Miss Lizy ’Sleigh’s not very stout, ’Watch this mule lie back his ears ’I’m scared he’ll kick us out’ 
Chorus 
The mule was very fancy And all so innocent While I was a-makin’ love to Liza He run us in the fence (I declare!) 
She says, ’Where you gwine, my darlin’ ’You act just like a fool ’Hush your lovesick talk to me ’And try to hold your mule’ 
Chorus 
’Gwine down to the parson’s ’Now, Liza, you keep cool ’For I ain’t got time to kiss you now I’m busy with my mule’
