Mule Skinner Blues |
| Good morning captain good morning son |
| Do you need another mule skinner |
| Out on your new road line |
| Well I like to work I’m rolling all the time |
| Lord I like to work boy I’m rolling all the time |
| I can pop my initials Right on a mule’s behind |
| Well it’s hey little water boy bring your water 'round |
| Lord it’s hey little water boy bring your water 'round |
| And if you don’t like your job just set that water bucket down |
| I work out on the new road from a dollar and a dime a day |
| Lord I work out on the new road I make a dollar and a dime a day |
| I’ve got three women on Saturday night Waiting to draw my pay |
| Well I’m going to town honey what can I bring you back |
| Well I’m going to town baby what can I bring you back |
| Just bring a pint of good rye And a John B. Stetson hat |
| Lord it’s raining here and it’s storming on the deep blue sea |
| Lord it’s raining here and it’s storming on the deep blue sea |
| Can’t no blonde headed woman make a monkey out for me |
| If your house catches fire and there ain’t no water 'round |
| If your house catches fire and there ain’t no water 'round |
| Just throw your good gal out the window let your house just burn on down |
| Well I’m leaving here and I ain’t gonna take no clothes |
| I’m leaving here and I ain’t gonna take no clothes |
| There may be good times in this old town but it’s better on down the road |
