Blue Yodel No.8 (Mule Skinner Blues) (originale)

Good mornin' Captain
Good mornin' Shine
Do you need another mule skinner
Out on your new mud line?
Yo-del-lay-ee-ee, yo-del-lay-ee-ee-ee
I like to work
I’m rolling all the time
I can carve my initials
On a mule’s behind
Yo-del-lay-ee-ee, yo-del-lay-ee-ee
Yo-lay-ee, yo-lay-ee, yo-del-lay-ee
Hey, little water boy
Bring that water round
If you don’t like your job
Set that water bucket down
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
Workin' on the good roads
Dollar and half a day
My good gal’s waiting on Saturday night
Just to draw my pay
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
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
I smell your bread a burnin'
Turn your damper down
If you ain’t got a damper
Good gal, turn your bread around
Dee-yo-del-lay-ee, dee-yo-del-lay-ee
Dee-yo-del-lay-ee-ee-lay-ee

Blue Yodel No.8 (Mule Skinner Blues) (traduzione)

Buongiorno Capitano
Buongiorno Shine
Hai bisogno di un altro skinner per muli
Sei fuori sulla tua nuova linea di fango?
Yo-del-lay-ee-ee, yo-del-lay-ee-ee-ee
Mi piace lavorare
Sto rotolando tutto il tempo
Posso incidere le mie iniziali
Dietro di un mulo
Yo-del-lay-ee-ee, yo-del-lay-ee-ee
Yo-lay-ee, yo-lay-ee, yo-del-lay-ee
Ehi, ragazzino dell'acqua
Porta quell'acqua in giro
Se non ti piace il tuo lavoro
Metti giù quel secchio d'acqua
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
Lavorando sulle buone strade
Dollaro e mezza giornata
La mia brava ragazza aspetta sabato sera
Solo per prelevare la mia paga
Vado in città, tesoro
Cosa vuoi che ti riporti?
Porta una pinta di alcol
E un cappello di John B. Stetson, portalo in arrivo tesoro
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
Sento l'odore del tuo pane che brucia
Abbassa il tuo ammortizzatore
Se non hai un ammortizzatore
Brava ragazza, gira il tuo pane
Dee-yo-del-lay-ee, dee-yo-del-lay-ee
Dee-yo-del-lay-ee-ee-lay-ee
