My Captain Lyrics - Folk Singer - Muddy Waters

Oh captain, captain, hmm, oh, my captain so mean 

Oh captain, captain, hmm, oh, my captain so mean 

Ah, he don't feed me nothing, oh yeah boy, but soya bean 

Oh, the cook's alright 

Oh yeah, but the captain so mean 

Hey, the cook's alright 

Oh yeah boy, but the captain so mean, I mean so mean 

Ah, he don't let me drive nothing, but this old beat-up wagon team 

Yey, I worked all night 

Oh yeah boys, and I worked all day, ah, oh 

So sad, so sad 

Yey, I worked all night 

Oh yeah boys, and I worked th'old bell 

Ah, I couldn't find my mule 

Oh yeah, fella'd show nowhere 

Yey, my wheel mule is crippled, hum, you know, my lead mule is blind 

Yey, my wheel mule is crippled, hum, yes boys, my lead mule is blind 

Now I ain't gonna buy my baby no more stockings 

Oh yeah boys, with the seam behind, hmm 

Fella I mean, with the seam behind 

Hmm, people, with the seam behind
