John Lee Hooker - John L's House Rent Boogie Lyrics

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
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
...
