New Mule Skinner Blues lyrics - Smokey River Boys

(As recorded by Bill Monroe & the Smokey River Boys)


[1] God morning foreman….
Good morning boss….
Do you need another mule skinner
With a blacksnake whip to toss….

Yodel lay hee, hee hee a hee hee hee

[2] Lord…I’ve been working hard…
And.. I feel so bad….
I’ve got a good woman….
And I want to keep her glad…

Yodel lay hee, hee hee a hee hee hee


[3] I’m an old mule skinner…
From down Kentucky way…
I can make any mule listen…
Or I won’t accept your pay…

[Thanks to Robert Metzgar for lyrics]
