Lyrics
You took his money, till i went stone blind
I worked on the levee, lord with a shoulder well
you know i m almost flyin
i worked on levee
and he won t go long all around
Or he won t even eat his corn, till i went stone blind Fred, like you done po shine
how can i drive him
But i ve got the shortest line, i got the shortest line
But i ve got the shortest line, how can i drive him
come out drive him
I couldn t find a mule, i couldn t find a mule
that captain hollerin
Lordy and i worked old belle, that captain hollerin Fred, he won t even keep time
Or he won t even eat his corn, and he won t go long all around
He won t even keep time, you can t take mine
Like you done po shine, like you done po shine
That captain hollerin, till i went stone blind Mississippi, he won t eat no oatmeal
i couldn t find a mule
you took his money
and he won t go long all around
lordy and i worked old belle
lord with a shoulder well
But i ve got the shortest line, and he won t go long all around
Honey and i worked old belle, you took his money
i m a long line skinner
i m a long time skinner
lordy and i worked old belle
That captain hollerin, lordy and i m almost flyin
He ain t gotta worry a bit, i got the shortest line
Lordy and i m almost flyin, and he won t go long all around, i couldn t find a mule
He ain t gotta worry a bit, he won t even keep time
Till i went stone blind, he won t eat no oatmeal McDowell, lordy and i worked old belle
come out drive him
You know i m almost flyin, or he won t even eat his corn, he ain t gotta worry a bit
