Mule Skinner Blues (Blue Yodel No. 8) Songtext
von Dolly Parton

Wow, get on here

Well, good morning Captain
Good morning to you Sir
Hey, hey, yeah
Do you need another mule skinner?
Down on your new mud run
Hey, hey, yeah
Yodel-a-ee-he-he
He-he-he-he-he-he

Well, I′m a lady mule skinner from down old Tennessee way
Hey, hey, I come from Tennessee
I can make any mule listen or I won't accept your pay
Hey, hey, I won′t take your pay

Yodel-a-ee-he-he
He-he-he-he-he-he, yeah


Well, hey, hey, little waterboy
Won't you bring your water 'round?
Hey, hey
If you don′t like your job
Well, you can throw your bucket down
Throw it down boy, throw it down

Yodel-a-ee-he-he
He-he-he-he-he-he
Wow

I′ve been working down in Georgia
At a greasy spoon café
Hey, that lovely joint
Just to let a no good man
Draw every cent of my pay
Hey, hey and I'm sick of it
I wanna be a mule skinner

Yodel-a-ee-he-he
He-he-he-he-he-he
Yodel-a-ee-he-he
He-he-he-he-he-he

Mule skinner blues, yeah
Get out here, beautiful corpse, give me that
