Molly b’Damn smote Jimmy the Harp

With a horrid little pistol and a lariat
|
She’s goin to the bottom
|
And she’s goin down the drain

|
She got to get behind the mule
|
In the morning and plow
|

Choppity chop goes the axe in the woods
|
You gotta meet me by the fall down tree
|
Shovel of dirt upon a coffee lid
|
And I know they’ll come lookin' for me boys
|
And I know they’ll come a-lookin' for me
|
Got to get behind the mule
|
In the morning and plow
|

Big Jack Earl was 8'1'
|
He stood in the road and he cried
|
He couldn’t make her love him

|
On the wreck of the Weaverville stage

|
Pin your eye to the line

Never let the weeds get higher than the garden
|
Always keep a sapphire in your mind
|
Always keep a diamond in your mind
|
Got to get behind the mule
|
In the morning and plow
