John L’s House Rent Boogie Songtext
von John Lee Hooker

Hey, 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"
An′ so I have my rent next Friday

An' next Friday come
I didn't have the rent
An′ out the door I went

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

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Oh, boogie
