Lyrics

Well it's good morning Captain
Good morning to you shine
Hey hey
Do you need another mule skinner
Down on your new border run
Hey hey

Yodel-a-ee-he
He-he-he he-he-he he

Well I'm a old mule skinner
Way down Kentucky way
Hey hey
And I can make any mule listen
Or I won't accept your pay
Hey hey

Yodel-a-ee-he
He-he-he he-he-he he

Well I've been working down, workin down, down in Georgia
Breakin rocks and pitchin hay
Hey hey
Just to let a no good woman
Call every cent of my pay
Hey hey

Yodel-a-ee-he
He-he-he he-he-he he

Well it's hey little waterboy
Bring the buck buck bucket round
Hey hey
And if you don't like your job
Throw the buck buck bucket down
Hey hey

Yodel-a-ee-he
He-he-he he-he-he he...
