Bill Monroe & His Bluegrass Boys

William Smith Monroe (; September 13, 1911 – September 9, 1996) was an American mandolinist, singer, and songwriter, who created the bluegrass music genre. Because of this, he is often called the "Father of Bluegrass".The genre takes its name from his band, the Blue Grass Boys, who named their group for the bluegrass of Monroe's home state of Kentucky. He described the genre as "Scottish bagpipes and ole-time fiddlin'. It's Methodist and Holiness and Baptist. It's blues and jazz, and it has a high lonesome sound." more »

Good mornin' foreman, good mornin' boss
Do you need another mule skinner 
With a blacksnake whip to toss
 
Yodel lay, ee ee, ay ee ee
 
Lord, I been workin' hard
And I feel so bad!
I've got a good woman
And I want to keep her glad
 
Yodel lay, ee ee, ay ee ee

I'm an ol' mule skinner, down Kentucky way
I can make any mule listen
Or I won't accept your pay
 
Yodel lay, ee ee, ay ee ee ee
