Wanna tell you a story
About the house rent blues
E
Had to tell the landlady I done lost my job

E
Now next Friday come I didn't get the rent
And out the door I went
E
So I goes to the landlady

E
So said let me slide it on you know people
I notice when I come home in the evenin'
E
But for five year she was so nice
Lord, she was lovey-dovey
E
The landlady said, "You got the rent money yet?"
I said, "No, can't find no job
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
E
I said "But I'm tired, I been walkin' all day"
She said "That don't befront me
E
Now next Friday come I didn't have the rent
And out the door I went
E
So I go down the streets
Down to my good friend's house
E

He said "Uh, let me go and ask my wife"
E

I knowed it was "no"
E
I said "I know, everybody funny, now you funny, too"
E
So I go back home

E
And then she was so nice

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
E
