97th regimental string band-mister here's your mule

[Bloodylane1862]

i think the joke here is that he came into the camp with a mule and then someone in the end took it so he would say " Mister Where's My Mule?"

@Bloodylane1862 Very interesting! Did you know that this line also occurs in "Goober Peas? It says, When a horseman passes, The soldiers have a rule To cry out at their loudest, "Hey Mister, where's your mule?" But another pleasure Enchantinger than these Is wearing out your grinders, Eating Goober Peas! Now I thought this song was just plain dumb until I heard "enchantinger." I laughed so hard I thought I might die, and became an instant fan.

There's obviously a joke going on here, and I am not getting it! What is the scource of this here's-your-mule!? The line also shows up in "Goober Peas--" they say they wait until they see a guy on a horse and then howl "Mister here's your mule!" What am I missing?!?

Can you put the lyrics in the description? It'd be nice to have these songs memorized this coming year.
