Big Chief

"Big Chief" is a song composed by Earl King in the early 1960s. It became a hit in New Orleans for Professor Longhair in 1964, featuring a whistled first chorus in a rollicking blues piano style and subsequent lyrics written in mock-American-Indian pidgin (whistled and sung by King, uncredited). The tune became popular in New Orleans, frequently performed by local musicians such as Dr. John, and is now a staple of the repertory of most brass bands and musicians in the area. (Even though it was not a national hit, the single was available for years in the New Orleans area, especially during Mardi Gras.)

When the sun goes down, and the time is up, you, you illuminate the sky
No lie, no lie, no lie, no lie, God took her time when she made you
Start aligned when we met, perfect time, girl, you and I
You're a star, baby, now let me see you shine

Yeah, I see the way you walkin', I see the way you talkin', that makeup can be flossin'
You can't tell me you ain't feelin' yourself, nah, measurin' up to you, girl, there ain't no one else
All the effort you take, the whole world appreciates, but let me keep it real and separate from the fakes
While all the other betas wanna see you lookin' flawless, come and have a drink with me

Tell me what your flaws is, what's your fears, what's your passion, what's your story
You tearin' up, you show me pain, scars, and glory
Say what's on your heart, my ears are here for business
Tell me what you're missin', go and break on out that wish list
I give you space while you're tellin' me your truth, and let the beauty of her aura double in two
I said I'm praisin' mother nature while she's kissin' all your wounds, and I'm thankin' father time while I spend his soul with you

When the sun goes down, and the time is up, you, you, illuminate the sky
No lie, no lie, no lie, no lie
God took her time when she made you, stars aligned when we met, perfect time, girl, you and I
You're star, baby
Now let me see you shine

Every other word, the painted picture I see
Tells me of a life overshadowed by grief
Battered and abused this beautiful dame they stained
And now this perfect angel will never remain the same
Scared to be alone, and too afraid to commit

In a void space that love deserves to sit
And bottle after bottle, the fluid murders the fluster
And daily half smiles is all that she can muster
But don't you trip, dear, the chief is here, don't fear

And these few thoughts, I'll make it simple and clear
Even though your beauty makes the world stop and stare
Know I see you for your heart, and not for what you wear
And one man's trash is another man's treasure

And your past pain's gonna be this man's pleasure
The road we got is good, but I'm paying for the long toll
They can have your pretty face, just give me your gorgeous soul
When the sun goes down, and the time is up, you, you, illuminate the sky

No lie, no lie, no lie, no lie
God took her time when she made you
Start aligned when we met, perfect time, girl, you and I

When the sun goes down, and the time is up
No lie, no lie, no lie, no lie
God took her time when she made you
Start a line when we met, perfect time, girl, you and I

You're a star, baby
When the sun goes down, and the time is up
You, you, illuminate the sky
No lie, no lie, no lie, no lie

God took her time when she made you
Start aligned when we met, perfect time, girl, you and I
You're a star, baby
Let me see you shine
