Good morning captain good morning son

Do you need another mule skinner

Out on your new road line



Well I like to work I'm rolling all the time

Lord I like to work boy I'm rolling all the time

I can pop my initials Right on a mule's behind



Well it's hey little water boy bring your water 'round

Lord it's hey little water boy bring your water 'round

And if you don't like your job just set that water bucket down



I work out on the new road from a dollar and a dime a day

Lord I work out on the new road I make a dollar and a dime a day

I've got three women on Saturday night Waiting to draw my pay



Well I'm going to town honey what can I bring you back

Well I'm going to town baby what can I bring you back

Just bring a pint of good rye And a John B.Stetson hat



Lord it's raining here and it's storming on the deep blue sea

Lord it's raining here and it's storming on the deep blue sea

Can't no blonde headed woman make a monkey out for me



If your house catches fire and there ain't no water 'round

If your house catches fire and there ain't no water 'round

Just throw your good gal out the window let your house just burn on down



Well I'm leaving here and I ain't gonna take no clothes

I'm leaving here and I ain't gonna take no clothes

There may be good times in this old town but it's better on down the road
