Mule Skinner Blues (blue Yodel No. 8)

George Vaughn / Jimmie Rodgers / M. Christian

Good mornin' Captain good mornin' son
Do you need another mule skinner out on your new wood line
De yodel ei-ee-hee oh le-ee le-ee oh le-ee

I like to work I'm rollin' all the time
I can carve my initials on your mule's behind
De yodel ei-ee-hee oh le-ee le-ee oh le-ee

Here comes James Burton on the accustical guitar

[ guitar ]
Oh pick it

Hey hey little water boy hey bring your water round
If you don't like your job then set your bucket down
De yodel ei-ee-hee oh le-ee le-ee oh le-ee

Here's Roy Nichols on the harmonica

[ harmonica ]
I'm going to town honey what you want me to bring you back
How about a pint of booze and a Johny B Stetson hat
De yodel ei-ee-hee oh le-ee le-ee oh le-ee

Here's Norman Hamlet

[ dobro ]
Hey I smell your bread a burnin' woman turn your damper down
If you ain't got a damper good gal turn your bread around
Around I said around
De yodel ei-ee-hee oh le-ee le-ee oh le-ee
