Tear It Down

I'm gonna tear 'em down (bed slats and all)
I'm gonna tear 'em down (a-bed slats and all)
I'm gonna tear 'em down (bed slats and all)
Now if I catch another mule kickin' in my stall
Mama, gonna tear 'em down

Now, they bake them biscuits nice and brown
You know by that you got another high brown
I've got a brown, she's little and low
She's a todalo shaker anywhere she goes
Now, if I catch another mule in my stall
Mama, gonna tear 'em down

I'm gonna tear 'em down (bed slats and all)
I'm gonna tear 'em down (bed slats and all)
I'm gonna tear 'em down (bed slats and all)
I'm gonna tear 'em down (bed slats and all)
Now if I catch another mule kickin' in my stall
Mama, gonna tear 'em down

Now, you drink your whiskey, have some fun
Let's run like hell when the police come

I'm gonna tear 'em down (bed slats and all)
I'm gonna tear 'em down (bed slats and all)
I'm gonna tear 'em down (slats and all)
I'm gonna tear 'em down (bed slats and all)
Now if I catch another mule kickin' in my stall
Mama, gonna tear 'em down

I had a girl, her name was Lise
Every time you slapped her, she would holler, "Police!"
Cooked them biscuits, nice and brown
Think she's a workin' when she's turnin' around
Catch another mule kickin' in my stall
I'm gonna tear it down

I'm gonna tear 'em down (bed slats and all)
I'm gonna tear 'em down (bed slats and all)
I'm gonna tear 'em down (bed slats and all)
I'm gonna tear 'em down (bed slats and all)
Now if I catch another mule kickin' in my stall
Mama, gonna tear 'em down

Told my girl, the week before last
That the gait she's carryin' me is most too fast
I went to the river, take my rockin' chair
The blues overtake me rock away from here
Catch another mule kickin' in my stall
I'm gonna tear it down

I'm gonna tear 'em down (slats)
I'm gonna tear 'em down (bed slats and all)
I'm gonna tear 'em down (bed slats and all)
I'm gonna tear 'em down (bed slats and all)
Now if I catch another mule kickin' in my stall
Mama, gonna tear 'em down
