mule skinner blues (blue yodel no. 8)
Good morning, Captain Good morning, Shine Do you need another mule skinner Out on your new mud line?  I like to work I'm rolling all the time I can carve my initials On a mule's behind  Hey, little water boy Bring that water round If you don't like your job Set that water bucket down  Walking on the good roads Dollar and half a day My good gal's waiting on Saturday night Just to draw my pay  I'm going to town, honey What you want me to bring you back? Bring a pint of booze And a Johny be Stetson hat  I smell your bread a burning Turn your damper down If you ain't got a damper Good gal, turn your bread around
