MULE SKINNER BLUES (BLUE YODEL No
8)
Good morning captain
Good morning shine
Do you need another muleskinner
Out on your new mud line
Yodel
I like to work
I'm rolling all the time
I can pop my initials
On a mule's behind
Yodel
Hey little water boy
Bring that water round
If you don't like your job
Set that water bucket down
Yodel
Workin' on the good road
Dollar and a half a day
My good girl's waiting on a Saturday night
Just to draw my pay
Guitar
I'm going to town, honey
What you want me to bring you back?
Bring a pint of booze
And a John B Stetson hat
Yodel
I smell your bread a-burning
Turn your damper down
If you ain't got a damper, good gal
Turn your bread around
Yodel
