Karaoké One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer George Thorogood

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
