“Big Boss Man”
Big boss man, can’t you hear me when I call
Big boss man, can’t you hear me when I call
Well, you ain’t so big, you’re just tall, that’s all
Got me working, boss man, working ’round the clock
I want me a drink of water, but you won’t let Jimmy stop
Big boss man, can’t you hear me when I call?
Well, you ain’t so big, you just tall, that’s all
Well, I’m gonna get me a bossman, one gonna treat me right
Work hard in the day time, rest easy at night
Big boss man, can’t you hear me when I call?
Well, you ain’t so big, you’re just tall, that’s all
I do like Leon Russell (RIP), too.

There’s something about an artist that really draws you to them. He was one of them. Gentle, humble, etc etc
