BILL MONROE
"New Mule Skinner Blues"
(Jimmie Rodgers / George Vaughn)

Good mornin', foreman good mornin', boss
Do you need another mule skinner
With a blacksnake whip to toss.

Yodel lay, ee ee, yodel ay ee ee.

Lord, I been workin' hard
An' ah feel so bad!
I've got a good woman
An' I want to keep 'er glad.

Yodel lay, ee ee, yodel ay ee ee.

I'm an ol' mule skinner from down Kentucky way
I can make any mule listen
Or I won't accept no pay.

Yodel lay, ee ee, yodel ay ee ee.
