Goodmornin', Captain
Goodmornin' to you, Shine
Do you need a new mule skinner
Down on your new mud line?

Hey, hey... hey!
Gonna do a little bitta' the mule skinner blues
(Yeah)

Well, I'm goin' to town, honey
What do you want me to bring you back?
Bring me a pint of cold hard booze
(Yeah) and a John B Stetson hat
How's that?

Hey, hey... hey!
Gonna do a little bitta' the mule skinner blues
(Stand back, here I come!)

Well, I smell your bread a' burnin'
Woman go and turn your damper down, turn it down
Well, if you ain't got no damper
Woman you better turn your bread around
It's gettin' brown
Hey, hey... hey!
Gonna do a little bitta' the mule skinner blues

Well, alright

Jump on it, son!

Oh hey, now little water boy
Get your foot up offa' the ground
Pick up that bucket of water, son
Bring back that bucket 'round
Lord, if you don't like your job
Then lay that bucket down, on the ground

Hey, hey... hey!
Gonna do a little bitta' the mule skinner blues

Mule skinner, mule skinner blues
Mule skinner, mule skinner blues
