Good morning captain
Good morning sun
Oh yes, it's good morning captain
Good morning sun
Don't you need another muleskinner
On your new road line.

I like to work
I'm rolling all the time
Oh yes, I like to work
Rolling all the time
I can carve my initials
On any ole mule's behind.

Hey, little water boy
Bring your bucket round
Oh yes, Hey, little water boy
Bring your bucket round
If you don't like your job
Then lay that bucket down.

I'm going to town
Now, What you want brought back?
Oh yes, I'm goin' to town
What you want brought back?
Bring a couple pints of booze
And a J. B. Stetson hat.

Good morning captain
Good morning sun
Oh yes, It's good morning captain
Good morning sun
Don't you need another muleskinner
On your new mule run.

Good morning captain...
