MULE SKINNER BLUES
Recorded by: Bill Monroe
Writers: Jimmie Rodgers & George Vaughn
Good morn-in' captain
Good mornin' shi-hine
Do you need another mule skinner
Out on your new mud li-ine.

Yo-del-ay-hee-eee---ay-hee-hee-ee.

I li-ike workin'
I'm rollin' all the ti-ime
I can pop my initials
On mule any old ti-ime. [Yodel]

I'm go-in' to town
Whadaya want me to bring you ba-ack
Bring a walkin' cane
And a John B. Stetson ha-at. [Yodel]

Hey-little water boy
Bring that bucket aro-ound
If you don't like your job
Set your water bucket dow-own. [Yodel]
