Here's your mule

''Here's your mule'' or ''Where's my mule?'' (''Mister, here's your mule'' or ''Mister, where's my mule?'') was a Confederate catch phrase during the Civil War, often noted in Civil War histories.〔Moore, ''The Rebellion Record'', p. 288: "The cry of 'Here's your mule,' and 'Where's my mule?' have become national and are generally heard when, on the one hand no mule is about, and, on the other, when no one is hunting a mule. It seems ot to be understood by any one, though it is a peculiar confederate phrase, and is as popular as Dixie from the Potomac to the Rio Grande."〕 It resulted in several Civil War songs, including "Here's Your Mule", "How Are You? John Morgan", and "Turchin's Got Your Mule". It is also credited with contributing to General Bragg's failure to rally his troops at Missionary Ridge.〔Pollard, ''The Lost Cause'', p. 457: "The day was shamefully lost. Gen. Bragg attempted to rally the broken troops; he advanced into the fire, and exclaimed, 'Here is your commander,' and was answered with the derisive shouts of an absurd catch-phrase in the army, 'Here's your mule'."〕
==Origins==
Several differing accounts of the origin of the phrase are given. The most common involves soldiers in a camp taking a clever peddler's unattended mule and hiding it. When the peddler discovers the mule missing, he goes around the camp inquiring about it. After a while, a soldier would holler "Mister, here's your mule." When the peddler went toward the call, a soldier in another part of the camp would yell the same, "Mister, here's your mule." This continued, taking the peddler all over the camp. Variation of the story supposedly took place at the Camp of Instruction in Jackson, Tennessee,〔Ridley, ''Battles and Sketches of the Army of Tennessee'', pp. 632-635.〕 Beauregard's camp at Centreville, Virginia,〔Walsh, ''Handy-book of Literary Curiosities'', p. 753.〕 and others.
