歌詞

Wanna tell you a story, About the house rent blues 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 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 said let me slide it on you know people, I notice when I come home in the evenin' She ain't got nothing nice to say to me, But for five year she was so nice Lord, 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 was 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 befront 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 So I go down the streets, Down to my good friend's house I said "Look man, I'm outdoors, you know, Can I stay wicha maybe a couple days?" He said "Uh, let me go and ask my wife" He come out of the house, I could see in his face I knowed it was "no" He said "I don't know man, ah she kinda funny, an' all" I said "I know, everybody funny, now you funny too" So I go back home I tell the landlady I got a job, I'm gonna pay the rent She said "Yeah?" I said "Aw yeah" And then she was so nice, Lord, she was lovey-dovey So I go in my room, pack up my things and I go, I slip on out the back door and down the streets I go She a-hollerin' about the front rent, she be lucky to get any back rent, She ain't gonna get none of it So I stop in the local bar, you know, people, I go to the bar, I rent my coke, I call the bartender I said "Look man, come down here", he got down there Said, "Whatchoo want?" "One bourbon, one scotch, one beer" Well I ain't seen my baby since I don't know when, I been drinking bourbon whiskey, scotch and gin Gonna get high man, I'm gonna get loose, Need me a triple shot o' that juice Gonna get drunk, don't you have no fear I want one bourbon, one scotch and one beer One bourbon, one scotch, one beer But I'm sittin' there at the bar, I'm gettin' drunk, I'm feelin' mellow I'm drinkin' bourbon, I'm drinkin' scotch, I'm drinkin' beer Looked down the bar, here come the bartender I said "Look man, come down here" Said "Whatchoo want?" "One bourbon, one scotch, one beer No, I ain't seen my baby since the night before last, Gotta get a drink man, I'm gonna get gassed Gonna get high man, I ain't had enough, Need me a triple shot of that stuff Gonna get drunk, won'tcha listen right here, I want one bourbon, one shot 'n' one beer One bourbon, one scotch, one beer" (well all right) (Yeah) (Scratch my back, bay-bah) (Yeah-ahhh right) Now by this time I'm plenty high, You know when your mouth a-getting dry, you're plenty high Looked down the bar, I see'da my bartender I said "Look man, come down here", he got down there He said "Whatchoo want this time? I said "Look man, a-what time is it?" He said "The clock on the wall say three o'clock. Last call for alcohol, so what you need?" "One bourbon, one scotch, one beer" Lord, I ain't seen my baby since a-nigh on a week, Gotta get drunk man, so I can't even speak Gonna get high man, listen to me, One drink ain't enough Jack, you better make it three Gonna get drunk, I'm gonna make it real clear, I want one bourbon, one scotch 'n' one beer One bourbon, one scotch, one beer"
