Muleskinner Blues

(album: The Skiffle Sessions - Live In Belfast - 2000)

Good morning Captain, good morning shine
Good morning Captain, good morning shine
Do you need another mule skinner,
Working on your new road line?

My line's been rolling
I'm rolling all the time
My line is work
I'm rolling all the time
I can carve my initials (ha!)
On an old mule's behind

I said hey, little waterboy (hey!)
Bring that water bucket 'round
(Bring it 'round, bring it 'round, bring it 'round, bring it 'round)
I said hey, little waterboy
Bring that water bucket 'round
And if you don't like your job
Shut that water bucket down

(stand up here!)

[Instrumental]

Good morning Captain, good morning shine
Good morning Captain, good morning shine
Do you need another mule skinner,
Working on your new road line?

Well I like to work,
I'm rolling all the time
Well I like to work,
I'm rolling all the time
I can carve my initials
On an old mule's behind

I said, good morning Captain
Good morning Captain
I said good morning Captain
Morning Captain
Said good morning Captain
Morning Captain
I said good morning Captain
Morning Captain
Morning Captain
Morning Captain
Working on your new road line
