Mule Train

"Mule Train" is a popular song written by Johnny Lange, Hy Heath, Ramblin' Tommy Scott and Fred Glickman. It's a cowboy song, with the singer filling the role of an Old West wagon driver, spurring on his team of mules pulling a delivery wagon.

Buz was the original writer of the song along with Fred Glickman. The original recording was released by Buz Butler on Decca records.
