Haggard, Merle - Mule Skinner Blues Lyrics
Good mornin' Captain good mornin' son
Do you need another mule skinner out on your new wood line
De yodel ei-ee-hee oh le-ee le-ee oh le-ee.
I like to work I'm rollin' all the time
De yodel ei-ee-hee oh le-ee le-ee oh le-ee.
Here comes James Burton on the accustical guitar.
Oh pick it.
Hey, hey, little water boy hey bring your water round
If you don't like your job then set your bucket down
De yodel ei-ee-hee oh le-ee le-ee oh le-ee.
I'm going to town honey what you want me to bring you back
How about a pint of booze and a Johny B Stetson hat
De yodel ei-ee-hee oh le-ee le-ee oh le-ee.
Here's Norman Hamlet.
Hey, I smell your bread a burnin' woman turn your damper down
If you ain't got a damper good gal turn your bread around
Around I said around
De yodel ei-ee-hee oh le-ee le-ee oh le-ee...

Haggard, Merle Mule Skinner Blues Comments
Bravo bravo.......
I would love to thank who ever put this music on this siteTHANK YOU.
Great one
Why is the rest of the band hidden? They sound great and should have been on stage with him. Thank you for sharing this.
I listen to ancient religious music, punk rock, symphonies . . . You name it.
Merle Haggard is the first best of the American country.
As soon as I heard The Fightin Side of Me, I knew he set the standard.
Love it when he yodeled!
Merle Haggard singing Jimmie Rodgers does NOT get any better. Almost better than Jimmie himself - but not quite.
Just magic! I stated when Merle died recently that he would live forever on Youtube and songs like this just prove it! Many thanks for this posting. Great to watch a craftsman Take a classic song from another time and put his own inimitable stamp on it.This remains a fine tribute to Jimmie Rodgers and a monument for himself, the late and always great Merle Haggard
there is still a band the back i think but wow
thats a hell a tune you have to do that all yourself you are the band
R.I.P. Merle, What a talent you were, LOVE all your songs...none of the songs you wrote sounded the same as these new Country singers try to write...Yours were all so unique and different!
Real talent!
It is awesome -simply awesome.Love it
A pickin & a yodelin..awesome stuff here..off da cuff
What a voice could listen to him all day
That goes for me as well , Well put ..
James Burton played the guitar on the studio version.
thank you makeminecountry. a grate song by merle just makes you feel good haggnutt.
Ditto! My wife doesn't understand why I don't like all her cop shows she watches so this is great for me, headphones and all.
Merle Haggard, My god you are the greatest after Jimmy Rodgers.
I'm a strict Rock n' Roll man. Religious about it..HOWEVER..when fall off the fence onto the country side of life, I land in Merle's back yard. Excellent just isn't a big enough word. Thanks Merle. :)
Merle Haggard... Jimmie Rodgers does NOT get any better.
Simply the best, No one can sing it like Merle Haggard.
Looking for Bill Monroe's "New Mule Skinner Blues" and found this gem instead. Instant timeless classic.
I forgot how damn good he was.
What made merle so great is he never stopped being a fan of country music. He lived the songs he wrote. Most artists nowadays have no soul and have not lived their music.
Of all the different stages Merle had with different styles of music, this Jimmy Rogers stuff has to be some of his finest work. Love it!!
It's amazing that after the life he's led, he can still sing as good as he does!Definitely a living legend,who taught a generation how to sing!And could teach a thing or two to this new crop of kids, that are screwing up country music today!
@bbrj127 yep!!!
Just awesome talent here; I was 18 when i first saw him play; and now i am 60; and merle is still super.............great music...................thank you....
when this guy goes upstairs there'sonly dale watson left carrying the flag for pure country.
YES HE IS THE BEST.
MERLE IS MY MAN.
I have loved Merle Haggard since I was young.
AHHHHHHH So smooooooothhhhhhhhhh
Not bad for a guy who doesn't generally attempt yodeling.
Haggard is still my #1 Country Guy
So good I watched it twice in a row! This guy was seriously good in his prime. Love it.
Is'nt this great!...all of this great music that I've never seen before...I missed it the first time, but we get a second chance to see all of the fantastic songs..
Good stuff from Mr. Hag
Let me try it again, didn't show up the first time. It's a Martin D-18.
That was absolutely great! I amazed everyday about the great videos on youtube. My wife got the TV on HGTV all day but I"m happy as a clam sitting here at the computer with the headphones on watching youtube.
Does anyone know what guitar it is that Merle is playing?
I wish i could give this a 10/5!
its great
This song is awesome! I have loved Merle for ever!
Now that's the way that song should be sung.
Great Stuff!! Do you have this CMA show recorded? KB
Nice:-)
