"Mule Skinner Blues (Blue Yodel No. 8)" 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

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 water boy
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 café, hey, been working in Georgia
Just to let a no good man
Call every cent of my pay, hey, hey, and I'm sick of it, I 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
