One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer

Wanna tell you a story,
About the house rent blues
I come home one Friday,
Had to tell the landlady I done lost my job
She said that don't befront me,
Long as I get my money next Friday
Now next Friday come I didn't get the rent,
And out the door I went
So I goes to the landlady,
I said, ' You let me slide?'
I'll have the rent for you tomorrow
Or the next day I don't know
So 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,
But for five year she was so nice
Lord, she was lovey-dovey,
I come home one particular evenin'
The 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'
She 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'
I said 'But I'm tired, I been walkin' all day'
She said 'That don't befront me,
Long as I get my money next Friday'
Now next Friday come I didn't have the rent,
And out the door I went
So I go down the streets,
Down to my good friend's house
I said 'Look man, I'm outdoors , you know,
Can I stay wicha maybe a couple days?'
He said 'Uh, let me go and ask my wife'
He come out of the house,
I could see in his face
I knowed it was 'no'
He said 'I don't know man, ah she kinda funny, an' all'
I said 'I know, everybody funny, now you funny too '
So I go back home
I tell the landlady I got a job, I'm gonna pay the rent
She said 'Yeah?' I said 'Aw yeah'
And then she was so nice,
Lord, she was lovey-dovey
So I go in my room, pack up my things and I go ,
I slip on out the back door and down the streets I go
She a-hollerin' about the front rent, she be lucky to get any back rent,
She ain't gonna get none of it
So I stop in the local bar, you know, people,
I go to the bar, I rent my coke, I call the bartender
I said 'Look man, come down here', he got down there
Said, 'Whatchoo want?'
'One bourbon, one scotch, one beer'
Well I ain't seen my baby since I don't know when,
I been drinking bourbon whiskey, scotch and gin
Gonna get high man, I'm gonna get loose,
Need me a triple shot o' that juice
Gonna get drunk, don't you have no fear
I want one bourbon, one scotch and one beer
One bourbon, one scotch, one beer
But I'm sittin' there at the bar,
I'm gettin' drunk, I'm feelin ' mellow
I'm drinkin' bourbon, I'm drinkin' scotch, I'm drinkin' beer
Looked down the bar, here come the bartender
I said 'Look man, come down here'
Said 'Whatchoo want?'
'One bourbon, one scotch, one beer
No, I ain't seen my baby since the night before last,
Gotta get a drink man, I' m gonna get gassed
Gonna get high man, I ain't had enough,
Need me a triple shot of that stuff
Gonna get drunk, won'tcha listen right here,
I want one bourbon, one shot 'n' one beer
One bourbon, one scotch, one beer' (well all right)
(Yeah)
(Scratch my back, bay-bah)
(Yeah- ahhh right)
Now by this time I'm plenty high,
You know when your mouth a-getting dry, you're plenty high
Looked down the bar, I see'da my bartender
I said 'Look man, come down here', he got down there
He said 'Whatchoo want this time?
I said 'Look man, a-what time is it?'
He said 'The clock on the wall say three o'clock.
Last call for alcohol, so what you need ?'
'One bourbon, one scotch, one beer'
Lord, I ain't seen my baby since a-nigh on a week,
Gotta get drunk man, so I can't even speak
Gonna get high man, listen to me,
One drink ain't enough Jack, you better make it three
Gonna get drunk, I'm gonna make it real clear,
I want one bourbon, one scotch 'n' one beer
One bourbon, one scotch, one beer'
