    I am trying to remember all of the lyrics to a song recorded by Banjo
    Bill Cornett, I think, for Folkways many years ago. It does not appear
    to be in Digital Tradition. It begins:

    I woke up the morning in the spring of '65
    I thought myself quite lucky to be found alive
    I geared up my mule, my business to pursue
    Instead of hauling four loads, I only hauled two.

    It goes on to talk about a drunken evening at a ball.

    Any help will be appreciated.

    Thanks,

    The Holy Modal Rounders sang a version of this song on one of their records. It was always a favorite of mine when they were in Portland Oregon in the 70's. If you google their name and the song I think you can get a uTube of them singing it - a bit
    different from the lyrics posted.
