Listen & view Charlie Poole & The North Carolina Ramblers - I'm The Man That Rode The Mule Around The World lyrics & tabs

She promised to meet me
When the clock struck twenty-three
Down at the stockyard about a mile and a half away
Where pickle pig's feet and hog's ears
Sell for nineteen cents a pound
She's my freckle-faced consumption Sara Jane

Oh she's my daisy, she's blackeyed and crazy
The sweetest girl I thought I ever saw
Now her breath smells sweet, but I'd rather smell her feet
For she's my freckle-faced consumption Sara Jane

I'm the man that rode the mule around the world
I'm the man that rode the mule around the world
I rode in Noah's ark and I'm as happy as a lark
I'm the man that rode the mule around the world

I was born four thousand years ago
And there's nothing on this earth I do not know
I saw Moses on the water fighting Pharoah and his armies
And I can whip the man that says it isn't so

I saw Satan when he searched the garden o'er
I saw Satan when he searched the garden o'er
The apple Eve were eating, through the bushes I was peeping
I can prove that I'm the man that ate the core

I'm a highly educated man
And there's things in my brain that I have planned
Now I've been on earth so long till I've learned to sing a song
That old Abraham and Jacob used to sing

I rode in Noah's ark, he surround me with a shark
I rode up to the line and I fell off against a pine
