Ephram Jones
lived down in Alabam'
Ephram Jones
lived down in Alabam'
Bought a crosseyed mule
on the installment plan.
Collector came
to get his weekly pay
Collector came
to get his weekly pay
Found poor Ephram broke
and took the mule away.

Mister, mister,
hear a brother that's been a fool
I've got the jackass blues
I've just learned to care
about that doggone mule
And him I'm gonna lose
so won't you give him back
'cause I've got the jackass blues.
Nothin' ever made me feel
so blue and forelorn
I've got the blues and how
All my life I'll keep a wishin'
I'se ne'er born
If you take him now
So won't you give him back
'cause I got the jackass blues.
