Take It to the Bossman

You've got to take it to the Bossman
If you want to be free
You've got to take it to the Bossman
If you want to be free

Said, I was alone
Sadder than I've ever known
Downhearted and confused
I had nothing left to lose

Then I remembered what
My mama used to say, she said...

You've got to take it to the Bossman
If you want to be free
You've got to take it to the Bossman
If you want to be free

She said, son, life is hard
Always got to be on guard
Just when you get off the ground
Something's waitin' just to knock you down

Then I remembered what
My mama used to say, she said...

You've got to take it to the Bossman
If you want to be free
You've got to take it to the Bossman
If you want to be free
I'll be free, yeah

Go and take it to the Bossman
Go and take it to the Boss
Go and take it to the Bossman
Go and take it to the Boss

You've got to take it to the Bossman
Whoo! Said, take it, baby, take it
You've got to take it to the Bossman
Take it, take it, I said right up to the Boss

You've got to take it to the Bossman
Ah, ooh! Ah, ooh!
Right up to the man
You've got to take it to the Bossman
C'mon, baby

Go and take it to the Bossman
Go and take it to the Boss
Go and take it to the Bossman
Go and take it to the Boss

Go and take it to the Bossman
Go and take it to the Boss
Go and take it to the Bossman
Go and take it to the Boss...
