Lyrics 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... |
