Artist who recorded Robert's favorite song dies

Singer Frankie Laine dies of heart failure at age 93

...with songs such as That's My Desire, Mule Train, Jezebel, I Believe and That Lucky Old Sun, Laine was a regular feature of the Top Ten in the years just before rock 'n' roll ushered in a new era of popular music. Robert's favorite song? MULE TRAIN!!! YAH!!!

    (Hyah, hyah - sound of whip cracking twice

    Mule train!! (Hyah, hyah) -sound of whip cracking twice
    Mule train!!
    Clippety cloppin' over hill and plain
    Seems as how they never stop, clippety clop, clippety clop
    Clippety, clippety, clippety, clippety, clippety cloppin' along

    There's a plug o'chaw tobacky for a rancher in Corona
    A ghee-tar for a cowboy 'way out in Arizona
    A dress of calico for a pretty Navajo
    Get along, mule! -crack, get along

    Mule train!! (Hyah, hyah) -sound of whip cracking twice
    Mule train!!
    Clippety cloppin' o'er the mountain chain
    Soon they're gonna reach the top, clippety clop, clippety clop
    Clippety, clippety, clippety, clippety, clippety cloppin' along

    There's some cotton thread and needles for the folks in way-out-yonder
    A shovel for a miner who left his home to wander
    Some rheumatism pills for the settlers in the hills
    Get along, mule!! - crack, get along

    sound of whip cracking twice
    Mule train!! (Hyah, hyah) sound of whip cracking twice
    Mule train!!
    Clippety cloppin' through the wind and rain
    They'll keep goin' till they drop, clippety clop, clippety clop
    Clippety, clippety, clippety, clippety, clippety cloppin' along

    There's a letter full of sadness trimmed with black around the border
    A pair of boots for someone who had them made to order
    A bible in the pack for the Reverend Mr. Black
    Get along, mule! crack, get along

    Get along, mule, get along!! (mule train)

    sound of whip cracking twice(Hyah, hyah)
