[Intro]
Wanna tell you a story
About the house-rent blues
[Verse 1]
I come home one Friday
Had to tell the landlady I done lost my job
She said, "That don't befront 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
[Verse 2]
So I goes to the landlady
I said, "You let me slide?
I'll have the rent for ya tomorrow, the next day, I don't know"
So she let me slide it on, you know, people
I notice when I come home in the evening
She ain't got nothing nice to say to me
But for five year she was so nice
Lord, she was lovey-dovey
[Verse 3]
I come home one particular evening
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
Leaning 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 I went
Wanna tell you a story
About the house-rent blues
