Lyrics
Old Jack Coby was a miner
Had a mule her name was Dinah
They both thought nothing finer
Than to drift along in the morning sun
Drift along in the morning sun
Now that the mule and Jack were best of friends
They got along like two brown hens
They never cared to lose or win
Just drift along in the morning sun
Drift along in the morning sun
Drift through the trees
Like a warm (soft) summer breeze
With only the sky o'er your head
To travel through the land
Like a homeward-bound man
At night mother earth will be your bed
Now Jack never found too much gold
Or heard a story that couldn't be told
With the words that could make you cold
Just listening in the morning sun
Listening in the morning sun
Jack and Dinah spent their days
(OMITTED VERSE)
Living lives of peaceful ease
Nothing could make them pleased
But drifting in the morning sun
Drifting in the morning sun
Old Jack Coby was a miner
Had a mule her name was Dinah
They both thought nothing finer
Than to drift along in the morning sun
Drift along in the morning sun
