Mule Skinner Blues Lyrics

Good morning captain good morning son
Do you need another mule skinner
Out on your new road line
Well I like to workI'm rolling all the time
Lord I like to work boy
I'm rolling all the time
I can pop my initialsRight on a mule's behind
Well it's hey little water boy bring your water 'round
Lord it's hey little water boy bring your water 'round
And if you don't like your job just set that water bucket downI work out on the new road from a dollar and a dime a day
Lord I work out on the new road I make a dollar and a dime a day
I've got three women on Saturday night
Waiting to draw my payWell I'm going to town honey what can I bring you back
Well I'm going to town baby what can I bring you back
Just bring a pint of good rye
And a John B.Stetson hatLord it's raining here and it's storming on the deep blue sea
Lord it's raining here and it's storming on the deep blue sea
Can't no blonde headed woman make a monkey out for me

If your house catches fire and there ain't no water 'roundIf your house catches fire and there ain't no water 'round
Just throw your good gal out the window let your house just burn on down
Well I'm leaving here and I ain't gonna take no clothes
I'm leaving here and I ain't gonna take no clothesThere may be good times in this old town but it's better on down the road
