Classic Poem

My daddy come home this morning
drunk as he could be
My daddy come home this morning
drunk as he could be
I knowed by that, he's
done got bad on me

He used to stay out late, now
he don't come home at all
He used to stay out late, now
he don't come home at all
(No kidding, either.)
I know there's another mule
been kicking in my stall

If you don't like my ocean
don't fish in my sea
Don't like my ocean
don't fish in my sea
Stay out of my valley
and let my mountain be

I ain't had no loving
since god knows when
I ain't had no loving
since god knows when
That's the reason I'm through with these
no good trifling men

You'll never miss the sunshine
till the rain begin to fall
Never miss the sunshine
till the rain begin to fall
You'll never miss your ham till a-
nother mule be in your stall
