Rent Man Blues
Girls, girls, have you ever been like me?
Girls, girls, have you ever been like me?
You didn't have no money, the rent man put you in the street
It wasn't but ten dollars, I couldn't borrow it anywhere
It wasn't but ten dollars, I couldn't borrow it anywhere
For the man I was to get it from, Lord, he wasn't there
I went to the office, fell down on my knees
I went to the office, fell down on my knees
I asked that rent agent to allow me a chance, if he please
The rent agent told me, his boss told him to put me out
The rent agent told me, his boss said to put me out
"But if it was my building, lady, I'd let you finish your month out"
Lord, Lord, Lord, I'm outdoors
Lord, Lord, Lord, I'm outdoors
I'm just a poor old sick girl, ain't got no place to go
Girls, girls, have you ever been like me?
You didn't have no money, the rent man put you in the street
It wasn't but ten dollars, I couldn't borrow it anywhere
It wasn't but ten dollars, I couldn't borrow it anywhere
For the man I was to get it from, Lord, he wasn't there
I went to the office, fell down on my knees
I went to the office, fell down on my knees
I asked that rent agent to allow me a chance, if he please
The rent agent told me, his boss told him to put me out
The rent agent told me, his boss said to put me out
"But if it was my building, lady, I'd let you finish your month out"
Lord, Lord, Lord, I'm outdoors
Lord, Lord, Lord, I'm outdoors
I'm just a poor old sick girl, ain't got no place to go
