Man With Three Mules
there is a man wandering round California with three mules nobody knows where they come from or why they roam just an old man and his mules making their slow steady way the highways and byways and dirt roads that's what they call home heard they've been seen as far north as Red Bluff and Alturas and they sure know the way to ol' San Jose and to Porterville Laguna Niguel, San Luis Obispo and Carlsbad will they make it back safely from Needles I sure do hope they will so if you see them passing by please don't you scorn them my friend just tip your hat and say hi and give them a dime for although at first glance they might appear to be useless in fact they've got something to teach you about the nature of space and time that old man and his mules wandering around California they might be a-coming your way and passing on through remember they don't mean no harm so do not disturb them that old man and his mules will bestow all their blessings on you copyright Samm Bennett - all rights reserved back to Lyrics Table of Contents |
