    It takes hard work to live in this crazy world. Sometimes you lose a grip on your own sanity. You got to get behind the mule in the morning and plow.

    I feel like I’ve just stumbled upon a genre of music I’ve literally never heard before. It’s like, black...acid...country.
    It reminds me of how sometimes you need to take in something bitter after eating too many sweet or rich foods. This is like that for my ears. I’m kinda diggin it 👌🏻

    Its like "acid gospel". Something like William Faulkner or Flanny O'Conner's characters would sing to themselves as they walk thru their Southern Gothic lives. Tom Waits is a genius! Keep pulling on Troubles Braids, Tom.

    I've known this song for decades via Government Mule / Warren Haynes cover. Never realized it was a Waits song.

    You gotta get behind the mule and plough - you have to get up early and work with what you have. Hardass work/survival creed Brilliant song.

    Tom's music encapsulates the worst of the struggles, that we all face.

    If you are interested in where this song fits: it follows Dylan singing “Jewels and binoculars hang from the mule but these visions of Johanna make it all seem so cruel”
    After Tom song Jack takes the floor (Rambling Jack Elliott) singing muleskinner blues. Then the waterboys singing “The whole of the moon”

    • @DaveB-hg7el

      I like the way you think. The only quibble that I might raise would be to have a different Waterboys song. I would pick "A Bang On The Ear", a song on my personal ongoing playlist. I do appreciate you're posting this comment though, thanks. Peace 💚 (For context, I had my world turned upside down two and a half years ago, losing my daughter, father, and wife in a 15 month stretch, not trying to be anyone special, just decided being socially polite doesn't work for me these days.) Peace 💚

    They got a robot mule to haul the loot.
    It's called, among other things, Molly.

    Big Jack Earle was a real big guy. Molly B'Damned was real too, from Ireland to Idaho. The James Brothers sure were real folks too. Birdie Jo Hoaks' story is as weird as they come. Tom likes to eulogize weird folks like us. And KooKoo the Bird Girl, as well.

    Molly be damned 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
    Said she wasn't big enough to carry it
    She got to get behind the Mule
    in the morning and plow
    She got to get behind the Mule
    in the morning and plow
    She got to get behind the Mule
    in the morning and plow
    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 coffin 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
    Got to get behind the Mule
    in the morning and plow
    Got to get behind the Mule
    in the morning and plow
    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
    Couldn't make her stay
    but tell the good Lord that he tried
    (Chorus)
    Dusty trail from Atchison to Placerville
    On the wreck of the Weaverville stage
    Beaula fired on Beatty for a lemonade
    I was stirring my brandy with a nail boys
    Stirring my brandy with a nail
    (Chorus)
    Well the rampaging sons of the widow James
    Jack the cutter and the pock marked kid
    Had to stand naked at the bottom
    Of the cross
    And tell the good lord what they did
    Tell the good lord what they did
    (Chorus)
    Punctuated birds on the power line
    In a Studebaker with the Birdie Joe Hoaks
    I'm diggin all the way to China
    With a silver spoon
    While the hangman fumbles with the noose, boys
    The hangman fumbles with the noose
    (Chorus)
    Pin your ear to the wisdom post
    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
    (Chorus)
