Good mornin' Captain, Good mornin' sun
Oh well it's good mornin' captain, Good mornin' sun
Don't you need another Mule skinner out on your new mule run
I like to work, I'm rollin' all the time
Oh well now I like to work, rollin' all the time
I can carve my initials on any old mule's behind

Hey there little water boy
Bring your bucket 'round
Oh well, It's hey there little water boy
Bring your bucket 'round
If you don't like your job
Better lay that bucket down

Workin' on the new road
Got a dollar and a dime a day
Oh well, I'm workin' on the new road
Dollar and a dime a day
I got sixteen women
Waitin' for to get my pay
