DOLLY PARTON - Mule Skinner Blues (Blue Yodel No 8) lyrics

rate me

(Jimmie Rodgers - George Vaughn)

Well, good mornin' Captain

Good mornin' to you sir, hey, hey, yeah

Do you need another mule skinner

Down on your new mud run, hey, hey, yeah.

--- Yodel ---

Well, I'm a lady mule skinner

From down old Tennessee way, hey, hey

And I can make any mule listen

Or I won't accept your pay, hey, hey

I won't take your pay.

--- Yodel ---

Well, hey, hey, little water boy

Come boy 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 ---

Well, I've been worked it down in Georgia

At the Greasy Spoon Cafe hey been workin' in Georgia

Just to let a no good man go and spend pay, hey, hey

I'm sick of this mule skinner.

--- Yodel to fade ---
