Muleskinner Blues lyrics

Jimmie Rogers, George Vaughn)
Good mornin` Captain, good mornin` shine
Good mornin` Captain, good mornin` shine
Do you need another mule skinner,
Workin` on your new road line?

My line`s been rollin`
I`m rollin` all the time
My line is work
I`m rollin` all the time
I can carve my initials (ha!)
On an old mule`s behind

I said hey, little waterboy (hey!)
Bring that water bucket `round
(Bring it `round, bring it `round, bring it `round, bring it `round)
I said hey, little waterboy
Bring that water bucket `round
And if you don`t like your job
Shut that water bucket down

(stand up here!)

(Instrumental)

Good morning Captain, good mornin` shine
Good morning Captain, good mornin` shine
Do you need another mule skinner,
Workin` on your new road line?

Well I like to work,
I`m rollin` all the time
Well I like to work,
I`m rollin` all the time
I can carve my initials
On an old mule`s behind

I said, good mornin` Captain
Good mornin` Captain
I said good mornin` Captain
Mornin` Captain
Said good mornin` Captain
Mornin` Captain
I said good mornin` Captain
Mornin` Captain
Mornin` Captain
Mornin` Captain
Working on your new road line
