Lyrics Harry Belafonte

Harry Belafonte

Muleskinner

Good mornin' Captain, Good mornin' sun

Oh well it's good mornin' captain, Good mornin' sun

Don't you need another Mule skinner out on your new mule run

I like to work, I'm rollin' all the time

Oh well now I like to work, rollin' all the time

I can carve my initials on any old mule's behind

Hey there little water boy

Bring your bucket 'round

Oh well, It's hey there little water boy

Bring your bucket 'round

If you don't like your job

Better lay that bucket down

Workin' on the new road

Got a dollar and a dime a day

Oh well, I'm workin' on the new road

Dollar and a dime a day

I got sixteen women

Waitin' for to get my pay
