You stay at my place
Why? Let me stash it here
I wanna tell you a story
About the house-man blues
I come home one Friday
Had to tell the landlady I'da 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 in a month
Next, 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
Loh' 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 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, "Uh, 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 "I don't know man, ah she 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
Loh' 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
So what you want?
One bourbon, one scotch, one beer
Well I ain't seen my baby
Since I don't know when
I've been drinking bourbon, whiskey
Scotch and gin
Gonna get high man, I'm gonna get loose
Need me a triple shot of that juice
I'm gonna get drunk, don't you have no fear
I want one bourbon
One scotch and one beer
One bourbon, one scotch, one beer
But I'm sitting now, at the bar
I'm getting drunk, I'm feelin' mellow
I'm drinkin' bourbon
I'm drinkin' scotch
I'm drinkin' beer
Looked down the bar
Here come the bartender
I said, "Look man, come down here"
So what you want?
One bourbon, one scotch, one beer
No, I ain't seen my baby since the night before last
Gotta get a drink, man, I'm gonna get gassed
Gonna get high man, I ain't had enough
Need me a triple shot of that stuff
Gonna get drunk
Won't you listen right here
I want one bourbon, one scotch and one beer
One bourbon, one scotch, one beer
Well, all that
ย
Yeah
ย
Scratch my back, baby, ah
ย
Now
Now by this time, I'm plenty high
You know when your mouth a-getting dry
You're plenty high
Looked down the bar
I say to my bartender
I said, "Look man, come down here"
He got down there
So what you want this time?
I said look man
Ay, what time is it?
He said "The clock on the wall say three o'clock"
Last call for alcohol
So what you need?
One bourbon, one scotch, one beer
No, I ain't seen my baby since a night and a week
I gotta get drunk man till I can't even speak
Gonna get high man, listen to me
One drink ain't enough
Jack, you better make it three
I wanna to get drunk
I'm gonna make it real clear
I want one bourbon
One scotch and one beer
One bourbon, one scotch, one beer
