Version 1
[Verse 1]
E
Wanna tell you a story
About the house rent blues
I come home one Friday
E
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
E
Now next Friday come I didn't get the rent
And out the door I went
[Verse 2]
E
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
E
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
E
But for five year she was so nice
Lord, she was lovey-dovey
I come home one particular evenin'
E
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"
E
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"
E
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"
E
Now next Friday come I didn't have the rent
And out the door I went
[Verse 3]
E
So I go down the streets
Down to my good friend's house
I said "Look man, I'm outdoors, you know
E
Can I stay wicha maybe a couple days?"
He said "Uh, let me go and ask my wife"
He come out of the house
E
I could see in his face
I knowed it was "no"
He said "I don't know man, ah she kinda funny, an' all"
E
I said "I know, everybody funny, now you funny, too"
[Verse 4]
E
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"
E
And then she was so nice
Lord, she was lovey-dovey
So I go in my room, pack up my things and I go
E
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
[Verse 5]
E
So I stop in the local bar, you know, people
I go to the bar, I hang my coat, I call the bartender
I said "Look man, come down here", he got down there
E
Said, "Whatchoo want?"
[Chorus 1]
