Big Twenty

Move along big twenty, big twenty move along

You've got a master and you've got a home

Move along big twenty big twenty move along

You've got the muscle and you've got the bone

Went out on the Mojave with a twenty mule team

Ten tons of borax and a muleskinners dream

We'll soon be a-winin' and a-dinin' I know

With a cute little filly in the town of Reno

The Apaches are restless there's smoke in the sky

But I'm too old for scalpin' and I'm too young to die

But they'll soon be around us like ants on a hill

Bringin' this muleskinner up for the kill

(Here's where I can't remember much)

My mules started runnin' bring big twenty down

But we're still a-livin' so the story can be told

How I traded that borax for Apache gold
