The neighing of the horses in
The moonlight woke him up
There was a line of ice across his cup
Except for the wind in the corn
The world was perfectly still
The moon hung over the window sill
Ride on black mule
Four men on horses came riding up
They dragged him out into the clearing
They said, "Listen here mister
If you don't give us all your gold
We're gonna give you a hell of a beating"
Ride on black mule
Just then a nun on a
Black mule came riding by
She said: "Oh Gentlemen, what are you doing?
If you don't leave that man alone
I'm going to punish you for evil doing"
Ride on black mule
Well, you know bad men they never listen
They went up in a puff of brimstone
She cut him down
She led him by the hand to a cave
Took him into a world of limestone
Ride on black mule
She bathed his wounds she put
Salt on his back
She read to him from a great big book
When he was healed, she led him by the hand
Said, "Go into the world and take a look"
Ride on black mule
He was walking down a Beirut street
When a car-bomb blew him up
Oh, life can be cruel
When they took him to the
Mortuary to identify his fingerprints
All they found were the hoofprints of a mule
Ride on black mule ride on black mule
