Well good morning Captain Good morning to you Sir Hey hey yeah Do you need another mule skinner Down on your new mud run Hey hey yeah Yodel-a-ee-he-he He-he-he-he-he-he Well I'm a lady mule skinner From down old Tennessee way Hey hey I come from Tennessee I can make any mule listen Or I won't accept your pay Hey hey I won't take your pay Yodel-a-ee-he-he He-he-he-he-he-he Well hey hey little waterboy Won't you bring your water 'round
