Merle Haggard - Mule Skinner Blues lyrics

rate me

(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...
