MULE SKINNER BLUES (Dolly Parton)
“Mule Skinner Blues” is a classic country song written by Jimmie Rodgers and George Vaughan. The song was first recorded by Rodgers in 1930 and has been recorded by many artists since then. The 1970 recording of the song by Dolly Parton reached #3 on the U.S. country charts, and earned Parton a Grammy nomination. (More from Wikipedia)
“Mule Skinner Blues” has been recorded by many others over the years, notably by Dolly Parton; when she states flatly mid-song “I want to be a mule skinner”, you can almost believe her.
