Well, good morning, Captain 
Well, good morning to you 
Do you need another mule skinner 
Down on your new mud run 
Ha, ha, hip, ee, ee......... 

CHORUS 
Well, I'm an old mule skinner 
From down Kentucky way 
And I can make any mule listen 
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha 
Hee, hee, hee, hee, hee, ha, ha 
Well hey, hey 

Little water boy, come here boy 
Bring that water bucket around 
Ha, ha, ha 
If you don't like your job 
Water boy, put that bucket down 
Ha, ha, ha, ee, ee, ha, ha, ha
