Lyrics:

Well good morning captain

Good morning to you sir

Hey hey yeah

Do you need another mule skinner

Down on your new mud run

Hey hey yeah

Yodel-a-ee-he-he

He-he-he-he-he-he


Well I'm a lady mule skinner

From down old tennessee way

Hey hey I come from tennessee

I can make any mule listen

Or I won't accept your pay

Hey hey I won't take your pay


Yodel-a-ee-he-he

He-he-he-he-he-he


Well hey hey little waterboy

Won't you bring your water 'round

Hey hey

If you don't like your job

Well you can throw your bucket down

Throw it down boy, throw it down


Yodel-a-ee-he-he

He-he-he-he-he-he


Well I've been working down in georgia

At a greasy spoon caf?

Hey that lovely joint

Just to let a no good man

Call every cent of my pay

Hey hey and I'm sick of it

And wanna be a mule skinner


Yodel-a-ee-he-he

He-he-he-he-he-he

Yodel-a-ee-he-he

He-he-he-he-he-he


Mule skinner blues
