Long Line Skinner

Long Line Skinner

I've got a belly full of whiskey and a head full of gin
The doctor says it'll kill me, but he don't say when.
I'm a long line skinner, my home is out west.
I've been looking for a woman, that love me the best.

See, pretty mama, pretty mama, see what you done done,
You made your daddy love you, now your man done come.
I'm a long line skinner, my home is out west.
Lookin' for the woman, Lord that'll love me the best.

I'm down in the bottom, skinning mules for Johnny Ryan,
A-puttin' my initials on a mule's behind.
I'm a long line ....

When the weather it gets chilly, gonna pack up my line,
'Cause I ain't skinning mules in the wintertime.
I'm a long line ....
