Mccormick's Mule - song lyrics 
American Old-time song lyrics from www.traditionalmusic.co.uk 
McCORMICK'S MULE. Recited by Pat Rooney wit h great success. 
McCormick had a jack-ass Blind in the teeth, lame in one eye; He had a celebrated record For eating water and drinking pie; This jack-ass was a high-kicker, He won many an undisputed prize: He kicked out seven rows of Mrs. Murpoy's teeth, And jabbed out both her eyes.-McCormick's mule. 
This mule was born in Ireland, He wears the shamrock on his nose; At the centennial he stole an iron safe, And dressed himself in a suit of clothes; He broke into a jewelry store, Stabbed the proprietor with a nail; Chased four policemen into the river, And set fire to the jail.-McCormick's mule. 
McCormick was arrested and produced the mule For him all the neighbors had a grudge; He slapped the jury in the mouth with his tail, And kicked the necktie off the judge; The mule escaped and they held McCormick, For the doings of the mule he was tried; He was just getting ten years sentence When a telegram came the mule had died.-McCormick's mule.
