Lyrics for Song: Mule Skinner Blues
Lyrics for Album: Same Train a Different Time [1969]
(Jimmie Rodgers - George Vaughn)
Good mornin' Captain good mornin' son
Do you need another mule skinner out on your new wood line
De yodel ei-ee-hee oh le-ee le-ee oh le-ee.
I like to work I'm rollin' all the time
I can carve my initials on your mule's behind
De yodel ei-ee-hee oh le-ee le-ee oh le-ee.
Here comes James Burton on the accustical guitar.
--- Instrumental ---
Oh pick it.
Hey, hey, little water boy hey bring your water round
If you don't like your job then set your bucket down
De yodel ei-ee-hee oh le-ee le-ee oh le-ee.
Here's Roy Nichols on the harmonica.
--- Instrumental ---
I'm going to town honey what you want me to bring you back
How about a pint of booze and a Johny B Stetson hat
De yodel ei-ee-hee oh le-ee le-ee oh le-ee.
Here's Norman Hamlet.
--- Instrumental ---
Hey, I smell your bread a burnin' woman turn your damper down
If you ain't got a damper good gal turn your bread around
Around I said around
De yodel ei-ee-hee oh le-ee le-ee oh le-ee...
