Mule Skinner Blues
As sung by Maddox Brothers & Rose
Good morning captain, good morning shine x2
Do you need another mule skinner, out on your new mud line
Yodal aye eee hee he he he hee
I’m going to town honey,
What do you want me to bring you back x2
Bring a pint of booze & a John B. Stetson hat
Hey little water boy bring that water round x2
If you don’t like your job, yhen lay that bucket down
I like to work I’m rolling all the time x2
I can pop my initial on a mule most any old time
Additional verses:
Working on the rail road
Dollar and a half a day x2
My good gals waiting on a Saturday night just to draw my pay
I smell your bread a burning, turn your damper down x2
If you ain’t got a damper turn that bread around
