Big Boss Man

Music: Smith/Dixon

This was sung regularly by Pigpen with the Dead during the 60's and early 70's. It was revived a few times by Bob Weir with the Dead during the 80's. He also played it a few times with Kingfish in the mid-70's, and more recently with Ratdog. Phil Lesh also plays it with Phil & Friends.

Chorus
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 just tall that's just about all

Now you got me workin', boss man
Workin' round the clock
I want a little shot of whiskey (note 1)
But you sure don't let me stop

[chorus]

I'm gonna get me a boss man
One 'bout to treat me right
I work hard in the morning
Sure get stoned at night

[chorus]
Notes
(1) Bob Weir sometimes sings "Want a little drink of water, but you won't let Bobby stop"
