Mule Skinner Blues

Good mornin', Captain

Good mornin' to you, Shine

Do you need a new mule skinner

Down on your new mud line?

Hey, hey, hey

Gonna do a little bit a new skinner blues

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 Johny B Stetson hat

Hey, hey, hey

Gonna do a little bit a new skinner blues

Well, I smell your bread a burnin' woman

Go and turn your damper down

Well, if you ain't got no damper woman

You better turn your bread around

Hey, hey, hey

Gonna do a little bit a new skinner blues

Here comes Chet Atkins, good mornin', son

Oh hey, there little water boy

Put your feet out onto the ground

Bring back that bucket of water, son

Bring that bucket around

Lord, if you don't like your job

Then lay that bucket down

Well, I'm an old mule skinner haw

From down Kentucky way

And I can make any mule listen

Or I won't accept your pay

Hey, hey, hey

Gonna do a little bit a new skinner blues

Take it home children

Mule skiner, mule skiner blues

Mule skiner, mule skiner blues
