BOSSMAN
(Dorsey Burnette)
DEANE HAWLEY (DORE 554, 1960)

Early in the morning, gotta jump out of bed
And go face that rising sun
I gotta meet that bossman at eight o'clock
To get me a days work done

Same thing happens every day
Looking for that weekend to come
Two days to rest my weary bones
By five I gotta jump up and run

Early in the morning I gotta face that rising sun
Early in the morning I gotta get me a days work done

I gotta be there on time every morning
To punch that clock at eight
Bossman says he's gonna fire me sure
If I dare to be a minute late

Early in the morning I gotta face that rising sun
Early in the morning I gotta get me a days work done

Early in the morning I gotta face that rising sun
Early in the morning I gotta get me a days work done

Well, if I ever find me another job
Where sometimes I can be free
I'm gonna tell that bossman, oh well
And him again I never wanna see
And him again I never wanna see
And him again I never wanna see
And him again I never wanna see
