I'M GONNA BE BOSS FROM NOW ON
(Jesse Ashlock / Bob Wills)


Bob Wills & His Texas Playboys (vocal: Tommy Duncan)





The worst thing I did was when I married you
You're givin' me a bad time and you won't be true
Better heed my warnin', woman, this can't go on
I'm gonna be boss from now on

You're half lazy and the other half mean
Bed's never made and your kitchen ain't clean
Make up that bed, woman, get in that kitchen where you belong
I'm gonna be boss from now on

If you ever told the truth, you would apologise
I know that you've been callin' up other guys
Shut your big mouth, woman. put down that telephone
I'm gonna be boss from now on

I can't love ya, honey, 'cause your heart ain't clean
You're the triflin'est woman that I've ever seen
Listen here, baby, you'd better get gone
I'm gonna be boss from now on
