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
