The House rent Boogie
I told the landly
I did lost my job
And I didn?t have the rent
She said I know that I got no rent
?cause all I want is my money
You bring me for three weeks
You ain?t pain in diam
You give me one more week to get the money together
I just give you one more week
And if you had the rent you can go out of the door
The Next week come, I didn?t have the rent
And I come in, I sleeped in the house late at that night
The morning comes and she not my doe
?cause I want my money right now
I said Lady, all day long I tried to find a job
I ani?t found nothing
And I?ve been here for quiet a little while
?cause I want my money right now
I said: Where should I go on the street to come back
To get my old guitar, go on the street, on the corner
I sat down, I said fellows,
Some give me a Nickel and some give me a Daim
And some give ma a Quarter
And I play right here for you all day long
?cause I can?t go home
the old land Lady, got my cold on the pot
I don?t like that stuff
I paid and I plead
And I got to the house, but when I old
For 30 and 6 dollars in Summer,
For three weeks and I only had 10 dollars that money
And I told her, I said, I made 10 dollars a day
Give me three days and I bring you the rest of it
She said, all right, yeah
When the three days come, I will 6 dollars shell
She thought me in the street
And all of my cold
I said fellows, never go behind your rent
?cause if you did it, it will hard
so it?s cold in the street
I mean in the street
In the dead old street
You had no where to go
It cold outside
You don?t like that stuff
Yes, yes
Solo
Yes, yes
I picked up my cloth I slowly walked away
It was cold, it was snowing
I want hummer and I want jar
I had no place to go
I goes to my sisters house
She get really funny
I stood around and it got late at night
She?s a young woman
She wouldn?t cook
To be in the kitchen one at the time
And I sit there
After a while she said, well, we got to go to bed
That?s the way it people do
The house rent boogie
The house rent boogie
