Blue Yodel No. 8 (Mule Skinner Blues) (Alternate Version) lyrics

Good mornin' Captain
Good mornin' Shine
Do you need another mule skinner
Out on your new mud line?

I like to work
I'm rolling all the time
I can carve my initials
On a mule's behind

Hey, little water boy
Bring that water round
If you don't like your job
Set that water bucket down

Workin' on the good roads
Dollar and half a day
My good gal's waiting on Saturday night
Just to draw my pay

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

I smell your bread a burnin'
Turn your damper down
If you ain't got a damper
Good gal, turn your bread around
