Lyrics

I 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 couldn'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 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
 So I go in my room
 Pack up my stuff and I go
 And down the streets I go
 I stop down
 Now when I got down there
 Everybody was really pleased to guest
 I go to the bar
 Call the bartender
 I said "Look man, come on down here"
 He got down there
 Said, "Whatchoo want?"
 "One bourbon, one scotch, one beer"
 Oh I ain't seen my baby since I don't know when
 Mister Bartender set'em up again
 Gonna get high man, I'm gotta get loose,
 I want a triple shot o' that juice
 Gonna get drunk, don't you have no fear
 I want one bourbon, one scotch and one beer
 One bourbon, one scotch, one beer
 I take some of you folks heard this story before
 But I'm sittin' there at the bar
 We seat there
 Drinkin' bourbon
 Scotch
 And budweiser beer
 Looked down the bar
 Here come the bartender
 I said
 "Hey man, come on down here"
 He got down there
 Said "Whatchoo want?"
 I said what time is it
 He said the clock on the wall say it's 2 o'clock
 Last call for alcohol
 So what you need?
 One bourbon
 One scotch
 One beer
 No I ain't seen my baby since almost the week
 Gonna drink so bad man
 I can't even speak
 Gonna get drunk man
 Listen to me
 One drink ain't enough Jack
 You better bring three
 Gonna get drunk
 I made it really clear
 I want one bourbon
 One scotch
 'n' one beer
 One bourbon, one scotch, one beer
