Paroles

wanna tell you
a story
'bout the
house-rent blues

i come home
one friday
had to tell
the landlady
i done lost my job

she said that don't
confront me
long as i get
my money next friday
now next friday come
i didn't get the rent
and out the door
i went

so i goes
to the landlady
i said
you let me slide

i'll have the rent
for you
tomorrow or
the next day
i don't know

so she let me
slide along
you know people
i notice
when i come home
in the evenin'

she ain't got nothin'
nice to say to me
but for five years
she was so nice
know what
she was lovey-dovey

i come home one
particular evenin'
the landlady said
you got the
rent money yet

i said no
can't find no job
therefore i ain't
got no money
to pay the rent

she said
i don't believe
you're tryin' to
find no job

said i seen you today
you were standin'
on a corner
leanin' up
against a post

i said but i'm tired
i been walkin' all day
she said that don't
confront me

long as i get
my money next friday
now next friday come
i didn't have the rent
and out the door
