Mule Skinner Blues (Jimmie Rogers)

 
 
Good mornin', Captain!
Good mornin', Shine.
Good mornin', Captain!
Good mornin', Shine.
Don't you need another mule skinner,
Out on yo' new road line?
 
Hey, little water boy,
Bring your water bucket around!
Hey, little water boy,
Bring your water bucket around!
If you don't like your job,
Set your water bucket down!

(Recorded by Rogers and Horton, Bill Monroe, and others.)

I like the Bill Monroe version.
