Songtexte Muleskinner Blues - Odetta

Good mornin', Captain
Good mornin', son
Good mornin', Captain
Good mornin', son
You need another mule skinner
On your little mill run?

Been workin' on the railroad
About a dollar and a dime a day
Been workin' on the railroad
Dollar and a dime a day
Three women waitin' on a Saturday night
Just to draw my pay

I like to work
But I'm rollin' all the time
I like to work
Rollin' all the time
I can talk with my hand in the air
Hollerin' at mules behind

Good mornin', Captain
Good mornin', son
Good mornin', Captain
Good mornin', son
You need another mule skinner
On your little mill run?

Hey there, little waterboy
Bring your bucket 'round
Hey there, little waterboy
Bring your bucket 'round
If you don't like your job, then buddy
Put your bucket down

Good mornin', Captain
Good mornin', son
