[Ab] No, he just [Abm] didn't want to he didn't like that tune at first [B] and didn't like it [Gb] and didn't think there was nothing good about it
[Ab] So Ronnie got real mad and they argued for a while [B] and Ronnie finally had a few drinks and later that [Gb] night
He took you right out to his car
[Ab] Put him in there and sent [Abm] him to New York for he's gonna take [Bbm] a couple days off [B] and come back
[Gb] And [Ab] so I went to New York for two days.
He had business there
Anyway was talking about [B] it.
So Ronnie just [Gb] made him go and when [Db] he got back
We had [Abm] recorded simple [Ab] man and done it and let him hear it and he went.
Oh, I like that
[Fm] So then he wouldn't put a [N] organ on it
Because Billy hadn't put organ on it yet.

[Abm] Being alien or something, that's why people relate to that song, you know, you can be the roughest guy [Gb] in the world
But when mama talks you should listen.
[Abm] Yeah Yeah
when mama said do something you do it and when dad said do it you do it even better than

Our mother passed away three years ago and [Ab] she was like the rock of the Vanzant [B] family.
And so we listened to her
