7
I plugged 16 shells from a thirty-ought-six
8
and a Black Crow snuck through
9
a hole in the sky
10
so I spent all my buttons on an
11
old pack mule
12
and I made me a ladder from
13
a pawn shop marimba
14
and I leaned it up against
15
a dandelion tree
16
And I filled me a sachel
17
full of old pig corn
18
and I beat me a billy
19
from an old French horn
20
and I kicked that mule
21
to the top of the tree
22
and I blew me a hole
23
'bout the size of a kickdrum
24
and I cut me a switch
25
from a long branch elbow
26
Chorus
27
I'm gonna whittle you into kindlin'
28
Black Crow 16 shells from a thirty-ought-six
29
whittle you into kindlin'
30
Black Crow 16 shells from a thirty-ought-six
31
Well I slept in the holler
32
of a dry creek bed
33
and I tore out the buckets
34
from a red Corvette, tore out the buckets from a red Corvette
35
Lionel and Dave and the Butcher made three
36
you got to meet me by the knuckles of the skinnybone tree
37
with the strings of a Washburn
38
stretched like a clothes line
39
you know me and that mule scrambled right through the hole
40
Repeat Chorus
41
Now I hold him prisoner
42
in a Washburn jail
43
that stapped on the back
44
of my old kick mule
45
strapped it on the back of my old kick mule
46
I bang on the strings just
47
to drive him crazy
48
I strum it loud just to rattle his cage
49
strum it loud just to rattle his cage
50
Repeat Chorus
