I'll have the rent for you tomorrow or the next day I don't know
ESo 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
EBut for five year she was so nice Lord, she was lovey-dovey
I come home one particular evenin'
EThe 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"
EShe 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"
