I know theres another mule kiking around my stall

If you dont like my ocean,,dont fish in my sea-x2
Stay out of my valley,let my mountain be.

Iaint had no lovin since god knows when x2
Thats the reason im through with these
No good trifling men.

Youll never miss the sunshine,
Till the rain begin ta fall x2
Youll never miss your ham
Till another mule,be in your stall
