You said you love me, baby

You said you love me, baby
Please call me on the phone sometime
When I hear your voice
You know it ease my worried mind

One of these days
I'm going to show you how nice a man can be - how nice is that? Real good
One of these days
I'm going to show you how nice a man can be
I'm going to buy you a brand new Cadillac
If you only speak some good word about me

Tell them about it
Tell them about it

I hear my phone ringing - I do too
It sound like a long-distance call
Hear my phone keep a-ringing - yeah
It sound like a long-distance call
When I picked up my receiver
Found another mule kicking in my stall

Let's talk

I know you hear my phone keep ringing
Sound like a long-distance call
 I know you hear my phone keep ringing - baby, yeah
You know, it sound like a long-distance call
I pick up my receiver
The party said, the party said There's another mule - there's another mule - what else is there?

People I'm down in the neighborhood one day and I'm talking to friends of mine
And in all the corner left and they said Another mule - yeah
After a while, after a while, after a while I went home like a good man should - yeah
I put my hand in my pocket and (...) my key out and unlock the door and there's standing my wife, she was crying - yeah
She says Another mule
The little girl, the little girl was jumping on the floor, she was clapping her hands together
She's looking straight at me-  now, now, now
She was saying
She was saying - say it
She was saying - say it
She was saying - say it
She was saying - say it
She was saying Muddy Waters, another mule is kicking in your stall
