Well, good morning darling
Honey you look so fine
Like a sweet watermelon
Just a-hanging from the vine

Yodel-a-ee-he-he
He-he-he-he-he

I love you honey
But you played me for a fool
You know I forgive you
Better let me skin you a mule

Yodel-a-ee-he-he
Yodel-a-ee-he-he-he

Well, I'm an old muleskinner
From up California way
I can make any mule listen
And I won't accept your pay

Yodel-a-ee-he-he

He-he-he-he-he
He-he-he-he-he
He-he-he-he-he
He-he-he-he-he

He-he-he-he-he
Yodel-a-ee-he-he
He-he-he-he

Oooh oooh ..
