Muleskinner Blues Songtext
von Woody Guthrie

Good mornin′, captain; Good mornin', son;
Good mornin′, captain; Good morning' son;
Do you need another muleskinner out on your new road line?


Well, I like to work, I'm rollin′ all the time;
I like to work, I′m rollin' all the time;
I can pop my initials on that mule′s behind.

Well, it's hey, little water boy, bring your water ′round;
Hey, little water boy bring your water 'round;
If you don′t like your job, let the water bucket down.

Well, I'm workin' on that new road at a dollar and a dime a day;
I′m workin′ on that new road at a dollar and a dime a day;
I got three women watin' on a Saturday night just to blow my pay.
