I’m goin to town honey, what do you want me to bring you back
Bring me a pint of cold hard booze, and a John B. Stetson hat - how’s that
Hey, Heeeey, Hey
Gonna do a little bit of that mule skinner blues
Well I smell your bread a burnin, woman you’d better turn your damper
down-turn it down
Well if you ain’t got no damper, woman you’d better turn your bread around -
it’s gettin brown
Hey, Heeeey, Hey
Gonna do a little bit of that mule skinner blues
Hey there little water boy get your foot up off the ground, get that bucket
of water boy, bring that bucket round
If you don’t like your job son then set that water bucket down - on the
ground
Hey, Heeey, Hey
Gonna do a little bit of that mule skinner blues
