`《Boss Jack》是美國鄉村音樂歌手Johnny Cash於2019年發行的歌曲，收錄於專輯《Going to Memphis》。該作品延續其標誌性敘事風格，以美國南方種植園勞動場景為背景，融入宗教意象與社會觀察視角。
歌曲通過工人視角刻畫監工Boss Jack的嚴苛形象，結合採摘棉花、軋棉運輸等農作細節勾勒季節性勞作循環，穿插集體捕魚宴會的群體記憶。歌詞運用口語化敘述與勞動號子式的重複句式，將聖經預言意象與現實壓抑感交織，形成肉體勞役與精神救贖的雙重敘事張力。`

歌曲歌詞
Pick a lot o'cotton drag a long sack comin' across the field well
I see Boss Jack
He's a ridin' straddle of a single foot roan
When you know that horse you'll leave him alone
The ole roan's got green in his eyes mean as the devil
And twice as wise
A fire in his nose and a bow in his back can't nobody ride him
But Boss Jack
Come on children bend your back work
A little faster fill your sack
Then you hitch up the wagon
Take it to the gin finish pickin'
Before the winter sets in
Now here while back when the crop was laid by
Remember who took us on a big fish fry
Caught a heap of catfish goggle eye and carp
Dashed and sang to the guitar and the harp
Well someday old Boss Jack is gonna set us all free
Gabriel gonna blow for you and me
Angels gonna bring that chariot
From above floppin' there wings like a turtle dove
Come on children
Bend your back
Work a little faster fill your sack
Then you hitch up the wagon take it to the gin
Finish pickin' before the winter sets in
