Testi di Mule Train - Paddy Reilly, Tennessee Ernie Ford

Mule Train (originale)

Clippity-cloppin' *whip* over hill and plain
Seems as how they never stop
Clippity-clop, clippity-clop
Clippity-clippity, clippity-clippity
Clippity-cloppin' along
Mule train (eeh, heahy-ah) *whip…whip*
Mule train (weuh) *whip…whip*
Clippity-cloppin' on the mountain chain
Soon they’re gonna reach the top
Clippity-clop, clippity-clop
Clippity-clippity, clippity-clippity
Clippity-cloppin' along
There’s a plug o' chaw tebaccer for the miner in Corona
A guitar for a cowboy way out in Arizona
A dress o' calico for the pretty Navajo
Get along mule, get along
Mule train (gidda-ah) *whip…whip*
Mule train (yeuh) *whip*
Clippity- *whip* cloppin' through the wind and rain *whip*
A’keep 'em goin' 'til they drop
Clippity-clop, clippity-clop
Clippity-clippity, clippity-clippity
Clippity-cloppin' along
There’s cotton thread 'n' needles for the folks way out yonder
A shovel for a miner who left his home to wander
Some rheumatism pills for the settlers in the hills
Get along mule, get along
Clippity-clop, clippity-clop
Clippity-clippity, clippity-clippity
Clippity-cloppin' along
Mule train (I'll skin you, aeah) *whip…whip*
Mule train *whip…whip*

(traduzione)

Clippity-cloppin' *frusta* su colline e pianure
Sembra che non si fermino mai
Clippity-clop, clippity-clop
Clippity-clippity, clippity-clippity
Clippity-cloppin' insieme
Mule train (eeh, heahy-ah) *frusta...frusta*
Treno di muli (weuh) *frusta... frusta*
Clippity-cloppin' sulla catena montuosa
Presto raggiungeranno la vetta
Clippity-clop, clippity-clop
Clippity-clippity, clippity-clippity
Clippity-cloppin' insieme
C'è un tebaccer plug o' chaw per il minatore di Corona
Una chitarra per un cowboy in uscita in Arizona
Un abito di calicò per la bella Navajo
Vai d'accordo mulo, vai d'accordo
Treno di muli (gidda-ah) *frusta...frusta*
Treno a muli (sì) *frusta*
Clippity- *frusta* sbattendo contro il vento e la pioggia *frusta*
Continua a farli andare finché non cadono
Clippity-clop, clippity-clop
Clippity-clippity, clippity-clippity
Clippity-cloppin' insieme
Ci sono fili di cotone e aghi per la gente laggiù
Una pala per un minatore che ha lasciato la sua casa per vagare
Alcune pillole per i reumatismi per i coloni sulle colline
Vai d'accordo mulo, vai d'accordo
Clippity-clop, clippity-clop
Clippity-clippity, clippity-clippity
Clippity-cloppin' insieme
Treno dei muli (ti scuoio, aeah) *frusta...frusta*
Trenino a muli *frusta...frusta*
