House Rent Boogie

House Rent Boogie - John Lee Hooker (約翰·李·胡克)

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
