lyrics

Black Mule
©Jerry Axson

I don't want to be your fool,
some dead weight you drag behind,
so far gone now it's just cruel,
will you say goodbye this time,
All your friends - they talk me down,
say I'm just no good for you,
but it's the soul - no, not the crown,
that sees the spirit on and through...

And I don't want to be your black mule,
meant to carry only you,
Black mule is a poor mans' tool,
for the unlucky few,
I don't want to be your -
I don't want to be your –
I don't want to be your black mule...
I don't want to be your -
I don't want to be your -
I don't want to be your black mule...

Say goodbye to this boy now,
up and over the hills,
I want to leave without a sound,
don't you know that your love kills?,
"precious, precious" is your name,
but you don't seem to me like that,
I could die inside your flame,
never - ever coming back...

Writing songs and composing music satisfy my soul and because of this I know exactly what I am designed to do, it’s just that simple. - Jerry Axson ... more
