[Verse]
Good morning captain good morning son
Do you need another mule skinner
Out on your new road line
Well I like to work I'm rolling all the time
Lord I like to work boy I'm rolling all the time
I can pop my initials Right on a mule's behind
Well it's hey little water boy bring your water around
Lord it's hey little water boy bring your water around
And if you don't like your job just set that water bucket down
I work out on the new road from a dollar and a dime a day
Lord I work out on the new road I make a dollar and a dime a day
I've got three women on Saturday night Waiting to draw my pay
Well I'm going to town honey what can I bring you back[x2]
Just bring a pint of good rye And a John B.Stetson hat
Lord it's raining here and it's storming on the deep blue sea[x2]
Can't no blonde headed woman make a monkey out for me
If your house catches fire and there ain't no water around[x2]
Just throw your good gal out the window let your house just burn on down
I'm leaving here and I ain't going to take no clothes[x2]
There may be good times in this old town but it's better on down the road
