NOTE: Jimmie Strother sang "Used to work contractor".
Used to work contractor, Mike Hardy was his name
Wanted me to make four loads a day, doggone mule were lame
Went out early in the morning, got stalled and stayed all day
When I returned in the evenin', these are the words he say
"Where in the world has you been all day? Here's your money, get away,
With that mule in that boy's bushel corn."
Old Mike Hardy, he was mad, give my money and he got bad
With that mule in that boy's bushel corn
Used to work contractor, Mike Hardy was his name

With that mule in that boy's bushel corn."
(Banjo)
Worked for his brother, he was the same doggone way
Went out early in the morning, got stalled and stayed all day
I returned in the evenin', these are the words he say
"Where in the world has you been all day? Here's your money, get away,
With that mule in that boy's bushel corn."
