(Chorus)
Ti-yi-yay, yay-ho,
Ti-yi-yippy, yippy-yay!
Ti-yi-yay, yay-ho,
Ti-yi-yippy, yippy-yay!
Buster in the country eatin' collard greens,
Miss Georgia in the city eatin' cold ice-cream
Well it's...
(Chorus)
Had an old mule, his name was Jane
Took her to the trough to give him a drink
Wouldn't drink water an' wouldn't back off
Well it's...

Ti-yi-yippy, yippy-yay!

Buster dans la campagne mangeant du chou cavalier,
Mlle. Georgia en ville mangeant de la crème glacée
Bien, c'est...
(Refrain)
Il avait une vieille mule qui s'appelait Jane
Il l'a menée à l'abreuvoir pour se désaltérer,
Elle ne voulait pas boire d'eau et ne voulait pas reculer,
Bien, c'est...
(Refrain)
