Good morning, captain
Good morning to you shine
Do you need a new mule skinner
Down on your new mud line
Hey, hey, hey
Gonna do a little bit
Of the mule skinner blues
Well, I'm going to town, honey
What do you want me to bring you back?
"Bring me a pint of cold hard booze
Yeah
And a John B Stetson hat
How's that?"
Hey hey hey
Gonna do a little bit
Of the mule skinner blues
Yeah, stand back
Here I come
Ha, ha
Well, I smell your bread a burning
Woman, go and turn your damper down
Turn it down
Well, if you ain't got no damper
Woman, you better turn your bread around
It's getting brown
Hey, hey, hey
Gonna do a little bit
Of the mule skinner blues
Well, alright
Here come Chet Atkins
Jump on it son
Yeah
Yeah
Oh, hey now little water boy
Get your butt up off the ground
Pick up that bucket of water, son
Bring that bucket around
Lord, if you don't like your job
Then lay that bucket down
On the ground
Hey, hey, hey
Gonna do a little bit
Of the mule skinner blues
Yeah
Take it home, children
Mule skinner
Mule skinner blues
Mule skinner
Mule skinner blues
