Mule Skinner Blues (Blue Yodel No. 8)

Well, good morning, captain

Good morning to you, sir, hey, hey, yeah

Do you need another mule skinner

Down on your new mud run? Hey, hey, yeah

Yodel-a-ee, he-he

He-he, he-he, he-he

Well, I'm a lady mule skinner

From down old Tennessee way, hey, hey, I come from Tennessee

And I can make any mule listen

Or I won't accept your pay, hey, hey, I won't take your pay

Yodel-a-ee, he-he

He-he, he-he, he-he

Well, hey, hey, little water boy

Won't you bring your water 'round, hey, hey

If you don't like your job

Well, you can throw your bucket down, throw it down, boy, throw it down

Yodel-a-ee, he-he

He-he, he-he, he-he

Well, I've been working down in Georgia

At a greasy spoon café, hey, been working in Georgia

Just to let a no good man

Call every cent of my pay, hey, hey, and I'm sick of it, I wanna be a mule skinner

Yodel-a-ee, he-he

He-he, he-he, he-he

Yodel-a-ee, he-he

He-he, he-he, he-he
