"WASHINGTON (CNN) -- A federal anti-terror law that requires longshoremen, truckers and others to submit to criminal background checks has ensnared another class of transportation worker -- mule drivers.
Mule skinners must abide by federal law and apply for Transportation Worker Identification Credentials, TSA says.
Yes, so-called mule skinners -- in this case, seasonal workers who dress in colonial garb at a historical park in Easton, Pa. -- must apply for biometric Transportation Worker Identification Credentials (TWIC), according to the Transportation Security Administration, which says it is bound by federal law.
The requirement has officials of the Hugh Moore Historical Park perplexed.
"We have one boat. It's pulled by two mules. On a good day they might go 2 miles per hour," said Sarah B. Hays, the park's director of operations.
The park's two-mile canal does not pass any military bases, nuclear power plants or other sensitive facilities. And, park officials say, the mules could be considered weapons of mass destruction only if they were aimed at something resembling food."

Well it's good morning captain
Good morning shine
Do you need another muleskinner
Out on your new mud line
I like to work
I'm rolling all the time
I can pop my initials
On a mule's behind
Hey little water boy
Bring that water round
If you don't like your job
Set that water bucket down

I always that that line was
Can you use another muleskinner.

Hey all you mockers! You won't be laughing so hard when someone runs a mule loaded with a stolen nuke into the White House! :whatever:

I checked it out... there's a lot of different lyrics. I think that's the Jimmy Rodgers version. When I worked at Opryland, there was a guy there that would go to town on that song. It was a blast to listen to.
