Merle Haggard

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
I can carve my initials on your mule s behind
De yodel ei-ee-hee oh le-ee le-ee oh le-ee

Here comes James Burton on the accustical guitar

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

Here s Roy Nichols on the harmonica

[ harmonica ]
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

[ dobro ]
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
