Well you said you wouldn't leave me, 'cause you didn't want to grieve me
And you couldn't stand to see tears in my eyes
But you said you loved another, and it ain't like he's your brother
So I guess it's time for me to realize

Don't worry 'bout the mule, just load the wagon
I can make it baby, and I ain't bragging
If you think I'm going to cry, your feet are draggin'
Don't worry 'bout the mule, just load the wagon

Well I think that I'll surrender, you keep looking out the windows
And it's plain that you don't love me any way
All you do is walk and piddle, while I'm playing second fiddle
I don't think that I can stand another day

Don't worry 'bout the mule, just load the wagon
I can make it baby, and I ain't bragging
If you think I'm going to cry, your feet are draggin'
Don't worry 'bout the mule, just load the wagon

For a long time I've been knowin', in your eyes it's all been showin'
And I knew some day someone would take my place
These cold kisses you've been givin' and the way that we've been livin'
There's enough to make a man start turning grey

Don't worry 'bout the mule, just load the wagon
I can make it baby, and I ain't braggin'
If you think I'm going to cry, your feet are draggin'
Don't worry 'bout the mule, just load the wagon
