Lyrics
0:06There was a camp town man
0:10Used to plow and sing
0:14And he loved that mule
0:17And the mule loved him
0:20When the day got long
0:24As it does about now
0:28I'd hear him singing to his muley-cow
0:37Calling "Come on my sweet old girl
0:44And I'd bet the whole damn world
0:51We're gonna make it
0:54Yet to the end of the row"
1:04Singing "Hard times ain't
1:08Gonna rule my mind
1:12Hard times ain't gonna rule
1:17My mind Bessie
1:20Hard times ain't gonna rule
1:26My mind no more"
1:36Said it's a mean old world heavy in need
1:45That big machine is just picking up speed
1:51They were supping on tears
1:54They were supping on wine
1:59We all get to heaven in our own sweet time
2:07So come all you Asheville boys
2:14And turn up your old-time noise
2:22And kick 'til the dust comes up
2:27From the cracks in the floor
2:35Singing "Hard times ain't gonna rule
2:41My mind brother
2:44Hard times ain't gonna rule my mind
2:51Hard times ain't gonna rule
2:57My mind no more"
3:15But the camp town man
3:18He doesn't plow no more
3:23I seen him walking down to
3:26The cigarette store
3:30Guess he lost that knack
3:33And he forgot that song
3:38Woke up one morning
3:40And the mule was gone
3:46So come on you ragtime kings
3:53And come on you dogs and sing
4:01And pick up the dusty old horn
4:06And give it a blow
4:15Playing "Hard times ain't gonna
4:19Rule my mind honey
4:23Hard times ain't gonna rule
4:27My mind sugar
4:30Hard times ain't gonna rule
4:37My mind no more"
