Annotation
Recorded by Jimmie Rodgers as Blue Yodel No. 8, and later a hit for Bill Monroe as Mule Skinner Blues, this is by far the more widely performed version. A version with rewritten lyrics was recorded by Monroe in 1950 but rarely performed by him before or after.
The original lyrics begin: ''Good morning captain, good morning shine
Do you need another mule skinner out on your new mud line''
