Wanna tell you a story about the house-man blues
I come home one Friday had to tell the landlady
I done lost my job
She said that don't confront 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 evening
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 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 was standin' on a corner leaning up against a post
I said but I'm tired
I've 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
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 with you maybe a couple days?
He said huh
Let me go and ask my wife
He come out of the house
I could see it in his face
I know that was no
He said
Huh I don't know man
Ah she's kinda funny you know
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 oh 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-howlin' about the front rent she'll 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 ring my coat
I call the bartender said look man, come down here
He got down there
