[Verse 1]
Em
  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

[Verse 2]
Em
  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

[Verse 3]
Em
  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

[Verse 4]
Em
  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?"

[Chorus]

"One bourbon, one scotch, one beer"

[Verse 5]

Em
  But I'm sittin' there at the bar
