Well the boss man cut my chains and set me free Now I don’t know, I don’t know what will come of me I don’t know nothing except the way I live … Now I fear what would come to be Oh now the boss man cut my chains And set me free My father was a working slave Just like me You learn to keep your head down Don’t look to see What’s going on all around you All my life been that way Now the boss man cut my chains And he walk away Now I can’t write and I can’t read I have no school And here I’m standing in the big world Like a worn out mule I don’t know what is going to come now Or what will be from me Because the boss man cut my chains And he set me free
