Excellent! I hadn't heard this is in many decades. We used to sing in school when I was just a lad (just as you probably did too). This makes me rethink the whole song. I like your performance very much. I easily imagine the mule/barge man plodding along the bank in rhythm with his mule (or team of mules) singing this song . . . I know all about mules . . . they don't walk too fast, and no man is going to convince them othwise. They "plod!" But they are very smart and usually are gentle creatures. Great performance Steve!
