On the Trail Lyrics
On the Trail - Frankie laine
Hop-hee-hop hee-hop
The stubbornest mule I ever saw
He's tossin' his head he's raisin' ol' Ned
He's gettin' me all of a twitter
That ornery critter he goes
He must have been born in Arkansas
Don't want to be led he wants to be fed
Why he'd make the Statue of Liberty
Flibberty-gibberty
He's hankerin' for a hunk of straw
He can't hear my song he's joggin' along
His footsteps that are beating are tellin' him soon
He'll be eatin' his fill
Clipperty-hopperti clipperty-clop
Clipperty-hopperti clipperty-clop
Clipperty-hopperti
Over the rim of the hill
We're on the trail
The sun is low the canyon is wide
Hi-ee hi-oo
We sing a song as we ride
We're on the trail
My mule and I we haven't a care
Hi-ee hi-oo
My heart is free as the air
Out on the ole painted desert
I know a wonderful site
Where we can build us a fire
Where we can spend the night
The sun will rise
And in the skies the stars grow pale
Hi-ee hi-oo
And we'll be back on the trail
Be back on the trail the trail the trail
