Mule Skinner Blues

(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...
