Conversation with a Mule - Pete Seeger
I saw a farmer and a mule a-plowin'

Over on the mountainside

As he went along he was a-grumblin'
As he plowed those furror deep and wide

Well as he went along a-plowin'

He was a swearin and snortin' all the way
I overheared his conversation with his mule
And this is what heared him say
Old mule your the son of a jack-ass

And I'm the image of God

Yeah here we work hitched together

Toilin' and a-tillin' the sod

I wonder if you work for me

Or I work for you old mule

Sometimes I think it's a partnership
Between a mule and a doggone fool

When plowin' we go the same distance

But I work harder than you

You skin the ground on four good legs
While I hobble along on two

So mule mathmatically speaking

Well I do more than you

Yes I do just twice the work per legs
Just twice as much as you

Now soon we'll be making the corn crop
That's probably split three ways

A third for you and a third for me
And a third for the landlords pay

You get your third you eat it

Your get the best and how

I split my third amongst eight kids
A banker six hens and a cow

So mule confidentially speakin'
Would you change places with me

Would you take up all my worries
And still contented be

Would you swap places I'm asking

Of course you know we couldn't

But would you if you could
Now tell the truth
You know
You're doggone right you wouldn't
