Songtexte Don't Mess with a Mule - Bad Temper Joe

Watch your step, boy, don't act like a fool
Watch your step, boy, don't act like a fool
Bootleg Sam had a shop across town
The law went there and closed it down
Well, watch your step, boy, don't act like a fool
I mean don't mess with a mule
Don't take a risk, boy, just play by the rules
Don't take a risk, boy, just play by the rules
The liquor he sold for twenty cent
Well, it made a snail jump the fence
So, don't take a risk, boy, just play by the rules
I mean don't mess with a mule
Leave the booze, boy, just eat your gruel
Leave the booze, boy, just eat your gruel
Never smelled nothing that smelled that bad
Now that he's gone everybody's glad
Well, leave the booze, boy, just eat your gruel
I mean Don't mess with a mule
Stagger your sleep, boy, take care of the cruel
Stagger your sleep, boy, take care of the cruel
Well, here's my advice
In the end not everybody will forgive a sin
So, stagger your sleep, boy, take care of the cruel
I mean don't mess with a mule
I mean don't mess with a mule
