I Asked The Bossman Lyrics - Lightnin' Hopkins

We were down in Louisiana 

Asked that Bossman to let my baby be 

Down in Louisiana 

Asked to the Bossman, let my baby be 

You know that I was doing alright 

But you Bossman, takin' my little old girl from me 

I said it ain't nothin' but a low down, low down 

People let the low down, dirty shame 

It's a low down, it's a low down 

God knows it's a low down, dirty shame 

Whoa, too bad little woman 

She got it bad with another man 

Wonder will I ever, Lord have mercy 

See my little Margie's face again 

Lord, I wonder, will I ever, will I ever 

See my little Margie's face again 

I just want her to remember 

Poor Lighnin', once have been her friend 

There been days I've been thinkin' about my little Margie 

Wonderin' if the little poor girl doin' just fine 

There been days I've been thinkin' about my little Margie 

Wonderin' if the poor child's doin' just fine 

You know the Bossman's taken her away from me 

But on the papers she still is mine 

And I couldn't help but to call her, I said 

Please release my little Margie, Bossman 

And let her come back home to me 

Please release my little Margie, Bossman 

And let her come back home to me 

You know she, with all her powers 

She couldn't do no better 

That's why poor Lightnin' had to let Margie be 

And like the song where I used to sing 

About everything I get, somebody takes it away from me 

But I've got to say one more word 

Release my little Margie 

Bossman, please let her come back to me 

Release my little Margie 

Bossman, please let her come back to me 

Your know, longer that my little Margie's gone 

Old Lightnin's sufferin' in misery
