Horses & Mules

The Horse Went Around

Tune: Turkey In the Straw
Oh, the horse went around with his foot off the ground
Oh, the horse went around with his foot off the ground
Oh, the horse went around with his foot off the ground
Oh, the horse went around with his foot off the ground.
Same song, second verse,
A little bit faster
And a little bit worse!
Oh, the horse went around with his foot off the _____
Oh, the horse went around with his foot off the _____
Oh, the horse went around with his foot off the _____
Oh, the horse went around with his foot off the _____
Same song, third verse,
A little bit faster
And a little bit worse!
(Continue leaving off a word each verse until the whole song is sung silently. End song by repeating verse 1.)


Mules

Tune: Auld Lang Syne
On mules we find two legs behind
And two we find before
We stand behind before we find
What the two behind be for
When we're behind the two behind
We find what these be for
So stand before the two behind
Behind the two before.
