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
