Mule Skinner Blues (blue Yodel No.8) Lyrics

Merle Haggard Mule Skinner Blues (blue Yodel No.8)

Good morning Captain good morning Sun
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
Walkin' on the good roads dollar and half a day
My good gal's waitin' on Saturday night just to draw my
pay
I'm goin' to town honey what you want me to bring you
back
Bring a pint of booze and a John B Stetson hat
I smell your bread a burnin' turn your damper down
If you ain't got a damper good gal turn your bread around
