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 my 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,
out the gate and down the road,
I would leave without a sound,
and I will carry a heavy load,
"precious, precious" is your name,
though you don't seem to be like that,
I could have died inside your flame,
never - ever coming back...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
