John L’s House Rent Boogie-John Lee Hooker

It's the house rent boogie

I come home last Friday

Talk to the woman that I lost my job

She says

Don't confront me and so I have my rent next Friday

And next Friday come

I didn't have the rent and out the door I went

Yes

Yes

Hmm

Hmm

Yes

Yes

Come here now

Y'all

Right 'cross the street here

Help me get this rent together

Some give me a nickel and some give me a dime

I'm tired of keepin' this movin' every night

I can't hold out much longer

Now I got this rent

Now let's get together

Y'all

Let's have a ball
