Mister, mister hear a brother, that's been a fool,
I've got the jackass blues
I just learnt to care about that dog-gon mule
and him I'am gone loose
so won't you give him back,
cause I got the jackass blues.
Nothing ever made me feel so sad and forlorn
I've got the blues and how
all my life I keep wishin' I've never born
if you take him now
so won't you give him back,
cause I got the jackass blues.
