Mule Skinner Blues (Blue Yodel No. 8)

Good morning Captain

Good morning to you shine

Do you need a new mule skinner

Down on your new mud line, um hum

Hey hey hey

Gonna do a little bit of the Mule Skinner Blues

Well, I'm going to town honey

What do you want me to bring you back

Bring me a pint of cold hard booze, yeah

And a John B. Stetson hat, how's that

Hey hey hey

Gonna do a little bit of the Mule Skinner Blues

Yeah, stand back, here I come, ha ha

Well I smell your bread a-burning

Woman go and turn your damper down, turn it down

Well if you ain't got no damper

Woman you better turn your bread around, it's getting brown

Hey hey hey

Gonna do a little bit of the Mule Skinner Blues

Well alright, here comes Chet Atkins, jump on it son

Ha ha, yeah, yeah, oh

Hey now little water boy

Get your butt up off of the ground

Pick up that bucket of water son

Bring that bucket around

Lord if you don't like your job

Then lay that bucket down, on the ground

Hey hey hey

Gonna do a little bit of the Mule Skinner Blues

Yeah, take it home children

Mule Skinner, Mule Skinner Blues

Mule Skinner, whoa, Mule Skinner Blues
