Jimmie Rodgers had a great affection for the railroads
And the men who ran them
And during the years he worked on the roads
He spent most of the time with
The New Orleans and Northeastern lines
Which ran between his home town of
Meridian Mississippi and New Orleans
And Jimmie became able to talk
In the language of the railroaders
Like such expressions as hoghead and hotbox
Quil ball in the jack skinner always filled his conversation
He wrote songs about these men and their language
The mule skinner was usually a man with a mule who hired himself
And his mule out by the day to do whatever had to be done
He might drag ties and rails or he might just move freshly
Cut timber from the right of way the
Mule skinner was the subject of one of Jimmie Rodgers's
Most popular blue yodles
