Utah Phillips - Sing in the Spring lyrics

I had a mule, his name was Jack And when I climbed upon his back He damn near died of a heart attack Sing in the spring, sing in the fall Sing when I hear my baby bawl Sing all day, all night too If you hush your cryin', I'll sing for you I had a canary, all yeller and green I had a canary, all yeller and green The stupidest bird you've ever seen But it could swear like a big Marine Sing in the spring, sing in the fall Sing when I hear my baby bawl Sing all day, all night too If you hush your cryin', I'll sing for you I had a horse, his name was Tex I had a horse, his name was Tex He signed his name with an "X" And made his livin' forgin' checks Sing in the spring, sing in the fall Sing when I hear my baby bawl Sing all day, all night too If you hush your cryin', I'll sing for you Had a little lamb I used to keep A little bitty lamb I used to keep When I'd tell him to go to sleep He's count people instead of sheep Sing in the spring, sing in the fall Sing when I hear my baby bawl Sing all day, all night too If you hush your cryin', I'll sing for you Then I got a tall giraffe Then I got a tall giraffe He liked to sing, and he liked to laugh He lived on beer and bubble bath Sing in the spring, sing in the fall Sing when I hear my baby bawl Sing all day, all night too If you hush your cryin', I'll sing for you I had everything, short and tall Done had everything, short and tall Round and fat, big or small I guess my baby's the best of all Sing in the spring, sing in the fall Sing when I hear my baby bawl Sing all day, all night too If you hush your cryin', I'll sing for you
