Mule Skinner Blues - The Fendermen

Mule Skinner Blues

The Fendermen

(Jimmie Rodgers - George Vaughn, CUCA 1003/SOMA 1137, 1960)

Good morning captain
Well, good morning to you s-i-i-i-r
Do you need another mule skinner?
Down on your new mud run?
Ha-ha, ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha
Hey-hey-hey-heeee-hee, he-he-he-he-he
He-he-he-he-he-he, he-he-he-he-he-he

Well, I'm an ol' mule skinner (yeah, you are)
Down from ol' Kentucky w-a-a-a-y
And I can make any mule listen
Or I won't accept your pay
He-he, hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey
Ha-ha, ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha
Hey-hey-hey-heeee-hee, he-he-he-he-he
He-he-he-he-he-he, he-he-he-he-he-he
Yeah!

Well, hey (hey) little waterboy
Who wants that waterboy, man?
Bring the buck-buck-bucket down
Weah-weah, ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha
Well, if you don't like your job
Then put the buck-buck-bucket down
Ha-ha, ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha
Hey-hey-hey-heeee-hee, he-he-he-he-he
He-he-he-he-he-he, he-he-he-he-he-he
Cha-cha-cha
