a daughter of the original singers of the sound experience did a modern cover of this song, and her version was a bit cleaner...i'm hoping that these are exact, but here goes....
40 acres and a mule by Sierra hurt
Give it now,
Give me my mule
(Repeat)
Whatever happened to the man, you promised me
Whatever happened to my mule
Give me a chance to make a contribution, now
Why don't you label me a fool
You sent me packing for some reservation now
You sent me calling from your school
Now all you give me now is restitution
Whatever happened to my mule
Give it up now,
Give me my mule
(Repeat)
