Hush now don’t you cry
I’m gonna fix you in the by and by
But she’ll swear I been runnin around
She’ll try to send me right out of town
But you can’t put the wagon before the mule
And expect him to run with a full load too
My heart ain’t believing
What my brain’s been receiving
My head can’t be right
If I’s out with her all night
You can’t put the wagon before the mule
And not expect him to run all over you
Now I ain’t afraid of you
Gimme a shot or two
Baby you know it’s true
So don’t you be so cruel
You can’t put the wagon before the mule
Without him cutting you clean and true
