Thate's 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.

and it's black around the border.
A pair of boots for someone 
who had them made to order.
There's a Bible in the pack
for a Reverene Mr. Black.
Get along, mule, get along.
