Reed, Jerry - Mule Skinner Blues Lyrics
Good mornin' Captain good mornin' to you shine
Do you need a new mule skinner down on your new mud line
Hey hey hey gonna do a little bit of the mule skinner blues
Well I'm goin' to town honey what do you want me to bring you back
Hey hey hey gonna do a little bit of the mule skinner blues
Yeah stand back here I come ha ha
Well I smell your bread a burnin' woman go and turn your damper down turn it down
Well if you ain't got no damper woman you better turn your bread around it's gettin' brown
Hey hey hey gonna do a little bit of the mule skinner blues
Well alright here come Chet Atkins jump on it son
Yeah yeah oh hey now little water boy get your butt up offa the ground
Lord if you don't like your job then lay that bucket down on the ground
Hey hey hey gonna do a little bit of the mule skinner blues
Yeah take it home children mule skinner mule skinner blues
Mule skinner mule skinner blues

Been 11yrs today, RIP Jerry.
Damn that was really good,two legends sounding so great!!!
He was incredible!!
Make sure you keep Jerry reed around
The actual Top 40-cracking hit off this 1970 LP was "Amos Moses:"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n7GyLr7Cz2g
...but that track, and this one, led a Blues-obsessed youth from WV to discover, over time, that C&W and R'n'B weren't that far apart.
(Nice solo by Chet Atkins about midway through.)
Jerry’s the man
dude was so good check him out playing with BB king back when that was still somewhat out of the norm . jerry and BB were groundbreaking
Man! If I could my guitar like Jerry Reed, my darn grass wouldn't ever get cut on time.
Bring alot of buckets of water to put the fire out in this song.
Damn Straits
oooh weee!
Blows Dolly out of the water!
bigroy38 check out the Bill Monroe version.. this is Jerry showing us what he can do on a guitar. I Love Jerry Reed but Bill Monroe is the king of this song.
The Alabama Wild Man at his best!
Whoever disliked this song can fuck off!
here here
Hell yeah!!! son!
fuck you YouTube survey
Says "by Jerry Reed" I love his music, all of it.... but that is "by" Woody Guthrie. Credit should be given.
@David McCarthy Jimmy Rodgers wrote "Mule Skinner Blues", THE FENDERMAN have the BEST version of it. It is a masterpiece. BUT all credit goes to Jimmy Rodgers
+Lost Leopards I find the Fenderman version just... weird. Maybe its a generational thing :).
@dsjoakim35
That voice on The Fendermans version is something you cant duplicate
THIS is the best version.
No writing credit given...its Jimmy Rodgers. Best version is Bill Monroe.
LMFAO LOVE this sone, and the great part of it all is that I AM a mule skinner. LOL I train gaited mules for Missouri Mule Company. You can find us on youtube or FB come ride with us!
