Landlord (1976) |
| 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 |
