Lyrics

Good morning captain good morning son Do you need another mule skinner Out on your new road line Well I like to work I'm rolling all the time Lord I like to work boy I'm rolling all the time I can pop my initials Right on a mule's behind Well it's hey little water boy bring your water 'round Lord it's hey little water boy bring your water 'round And if you don't like your job just set that water bucket down I work out on the new road from a dollar and a dime a day Lord I work out on the new road I make a dollar and a dime a day I've got three women on Saturday night Waiting to draw my pay Well I'm going to town honey what can I bring you back Well I'm going to town baby what can I bring you back Just bring a pint of good rye And a John B.Stetson hat Lord it's raining here and it's storming on the deep blue sea Lord it's raining here and it's storming on the deep blue sea Can't no blonde headed woman make a monkey out for me If your house catches fire and there ain't no water 'round If your house catches fire and there ain't no water 'round Just throw your good gal out the window let your house just burn on down Well I'm leaving here and I ain't gonna take no clothes I'm leaving here and I ain't gonna take no clothes There may be good times in this old town but it's better on down the road
