Mindless Song of the Day
The Fendermen with "Muleskinner Blues." [I like the "Hey, little water boy" line.]

I grew up with this song, but my best remembered version of it is Jimmie Rogers' original Blue Yodel No. 8.
My father farmed (and probably did the same kind of grading work the song mentions) with mules as a young man, and I'm sure he listened to this song from its composition in 1930. Jimmie was always a favorite of his, and I heard them all.
There's a good writeup on Wikipedia and the original version is on Youtube here.

Larry,
Those Jimmie Rogers songs are great.
My younger brother used to sing "Desert Blues."
