Good mornin', Captain
Good mornin' to you, Shine
Do you need a new mule skinner
Down on your new mud line?
Hey, hey, hey
Gonna do a little bit a new skinner blues
Well, I'm goin' to town, honey
What do you want me to bring you back?
Bring me a pint of cold hard booze
Yeah, and a Johny B Stetson hat
Hey, hey, hey
Gonna do a little bit a new skinner blues
Well, I smell your bread a burnin' woman
Go and turn your damper down
Well, if you ain't got no damper woman
You better turn your bread around
Hey, hey, hey
Gonna do a little bit a new skinner blues
Here comes Chet Atkins, good mornin', son
Oh hey, there little water boy
Put your feet out onto the ground
Bring back that bucket of water, son
Bring that bucket around
Lord, if you don't like your job
Then lay that bucket down
Well, I'm an old mule skinner haw
From down Kentucky way
And I can make any mule listen
Or I won't accept your pay
Hey, hey, hey
Gonna do a little bit a new skinner blues
Take it home children
Mule skiner, mule skiner blues
Mule skiner, mule skiner blues
