[Verse 1] Good mornin' Captain Good mornin' Shine Do you need another mule skinner Out on your new mud line? [Refrain] Yo-del-lay-ee-ee, yo-del-lay-ee-ee-ee [Verse 2] I like to work I'm rolling all the time I can carve my initials On a mule's behind [Refrain] Yo-del-lay-ee-ee, yo-del-lay-ee-ee Yo-lay-ee, yo-lay-ee, yo-del-lay-ee [Verse 3] Hey, little water boy Bring that water round If you don't like your job Set that water bucket down [Refrain] Yo-del-lay-ee-oo-dee-ee-ee Yo-dee-yo-del-lay-ee-oo-del-ee-ee Yo-del-lay-ee-ee, yo-lay-ee-ee Dee-yo-del-lay-ee-ee-oo-ee-ee [Verse 4] Workin' on the good roads Dollar and half a day My good gal's waiting on Saturday night Just to draw my pay [Verse 5] I'm going to town, honey What you want me to bring you back? Bring a pint of booze And a John B. Stetson hat, bring it comin' honey [Refrain] Dee-yo-del-lay-ee-ee-ee Dee-yo-del-ee-oh-del-ee-yo-del-ee-ee Dee-yo-del-lay-ee-ee, dee-yo-lay-ee-ee Yo-lay-ee-ee-lay-ee [Verse 6] I smell your bread a burnin' Turn your damper down If you ain't got a damper Good gal, turn your bread around [Refrain] Dee-yo-del-lay-ee, dee-yo-del-lay-ee Dee-yo-del-lay-ee-ee-lay-ee
