A song partly indebted to "Big/Flop/Long Eared Mule" and so to "Detroit Scottisch" is
"Kicking Mule" or "Whoa Mule" / "Bucking Mule"
The link above also contains versions of "Go 'Long Mule" (written by Creamer/King) (SEE bottom of this post), which is also partly indebted to "Big/Flop/Long Eared Mule" and so to "Detroit Scottisch", but is not the same overall as the "Whoa / Kickin' Mule" variation.
