Folk & Traditional Song Lyrics www.traditionalmusic.co.uk I'm the Man that Rode the Mule 'Round the World 
I'm the Man that Rode the Mule 'Round the World 
She promised she would meet me when the clock struck twenty-three Down at the stockyards 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 consunptive Sara Jane Oh she's my daisy, black-eyed and crazy 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 consumptive Sara Jane 
cho: I'm the man who rode the mule around the world I'm the man who rode the mule around the world Rode in Noah's ark, I'm as happy as a lark I'm the man who 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 pharaoh and his armies And I can whup the man that says it tisn't so 
I saw Satan when he searched that garden oe'r I saw Satan when he searched that garden oe'r The apple they were eating, through the bushes I was peeping I can prove it, I'm the man that ate the core 
I'm a highly educated man And there are things in my brains that I have planned Now I've been on earth too long, 'till I've learnrd sing a song That old Abraham and Jacob used to sing 
cho: I'm the man who rode the mule around the world I'm the man who rode the mule around the world Rode in Noah's ark, he surround me with a shark I'm the man who rode the mule around the world
 I'm the man who rode the mule around the world I'm the man who rode the mule around the world I rode up to the line and I fell off against a pine 
 I'm the man who rode the mule around the world
