JOHNSON'S OLD GREY MULE. American, Song Tune. USA, north Georgia. D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). One part. A comic song by Thomas Westendorf, written in 1884. The lyric (from the Georgia Yellow Hammers) begins:

Johnson had an old grey mule,
His name was Simon Slick;
He’d roll his eyes and switch his tail,
Mmh, how that mule would kick.

Well rode him down to the foot of the hill,
He hooked him to his cart;
He loved that mule and that mule loved him,
With all his muley heart.
