Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
I had [D]a mule, his name was Jack.
I [A]had an old mule
and his [D]name was Jack.
And [G]when I climbed up [D]on his back,
he [A]turned near, died of a [D]heart attack.
[G]Singin' in the spring,
[D]singin' in the fall,
[A]sing when you hear my [D]baby bawl.
[G]Sing all day, all night [D]to ya,
[A]hush ya cryin', I'll [D]sing for you.
I had a canary, all yellow and green.
I [A]had a canary, all [D]yellow and green.
The [G]stupidest bird you [D]ever seen,
and [A]it could swear like a [D]big marine.
[G]Sing in the spring, [D]sing in the fall,
[A]sing when you hear my [D]baby fall.
[G]Sing all day, [D]all night to you,
[A]I should cry and I'll [D]sing for you.
I had a horse and his name was Tax.
I [A]had an old horse,
his [D]name was Tax.
[G]He signed his name [D]with an X,
and [A]made his living [D]forging shacks.
[G]Singin' the spring, [D]singin' the [A]fall,
sing when you hear my [D]baby ball
Sing [G]all day, [D]all night, [A]till you hush,
you cry, and I'll [D]sing for you
I had a bear and he sang the blues
I [A]had an old bear, he [D]wailed the blues
He [G]hocked his pants and
[D]hocked his shoes
Hocked [A]everything but his
[D]press reviews
[G]Singin' the spring, [D]singin' the fall,
[A]sing when you hear my [D]baby ball
Sing [G]all day, [D]all night till you [A]hush,
you cry and I'll [D]sing for you
I had a little lamb I used to keep,
a [A]little bitty lamb I [D]used to keep
And [G]when I'd tell him to go [D]to sleep,
he [A]counted people [D]instead of sheep
Sing [G]in the spring, [D]sing in the fall,
[A]sing when you hear my [D]baby bawl
Sing [G]all day, [D]all night till you [A]hush, you
cry and I'll [D]sing for you
Then I got a tall giraffe,
then I [A]got a [D]tall giraffe
He [G]liked to sing and he [D]liked to laugh,
And [A]lived on beer and [D]bubble bath.
[G]Sing in the spring, [D]sing in the fall,
[A]Sing when you hear my [D]baby fall.
[G]Sing all day, [D]all night till you [A]hush,
You cry and I'll [D]sing for you.
I had everything short and tall,
Dun [A]had everything short [D]and tall,
But [G]round and fat, [D]big and small,
I [A]guess my baby's the [D]best of all.
[G]Sing in the spring, [D]sing in the fall,
[A]Sing when you hear my [D]baby fall.
Sing [G]all day, all night
to [A]Yah'shua cryin', I'll [D]sing for you.
