One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer

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 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 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 down the streets
 Down to my good friend's house
 I said "Look man, I'm outdoors, you know
 Can I stay wicha maybe a couple days?"
 
 He said "Uh, let me go and ask my wife"
 He come out of the house
 I could see in his face
 I knowed it was "no"
 He said "I don't know man, ah she kinda funny, an' all"
 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 "Aw 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
 She a-hollerin' about the front rent, she 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 rent my coke, I call the bartender
 I said "Look man, come down here", he got down there
 Said, "Whatchoo want?"
 "One bourbon, one scotch, one beer"
