Landlord |
Yonder come my landlord collecting his rent |
With his greedy yellow eyes and his tongue all bent |
With his padlocked pockets and his badluck nose |
Comes sniffin' round my doorway and goin' through my clothes |
Oh how could you treat me so cold |
Got a mortgage on my body and a lien on my soul |
I got a crackpot house with a two way roof |
My neighbours are thieves but I got no proof |
You like to take but you don’t want to give |
I’ve got to pay you rent just to have a place to live |
Ah but hey you landlord I know you well |
You run a rock’n roll' tavern and a fancy hotel |
You misuse a lot of people that you got at your command |
I’ll put on a pair of gloves 'fore I shake your hand |
You’re gonna wake up in the helpless dawn |
And look around and find that your land is all gone |
You wanna be cold just as cold as you please |
Will come next winter, you’re gonna freeze |
