DUMP THE BOSSES OFF YOUR BACK

(John Brill)



Are you poor, forlorn and hungry?

Are there lots of things you lack ?

Is your life made up of misery?

Then dump the bosses off your back.

Are your clothes all patched and tattered ?

Are you living in a shack ?

Would you have your troubles scattered ?

Then dump the bosses off your back.



Are you almost split asunder?

Loaded like a long-eared jack ?

Boob - why don't you buck like thunder,

And dump the bosses off your back ?

All the agonies you suffer

You can end with one good whack

Stiffen up, you orn'ry duffer

And dump the bosses off your back.



(IWW Songbook 9th Edition, 1916)
