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

John L's House Rent Boogie

I come home last Friday, tell her I went and lost my job
See that don’t confront me, and so I had my rent next Friday
And next Friday come, I didn’t have the rent
And out the door I went
Yea!
Come over here now y’all, right towards the street here
Help me get this rent together
Some give me a nickle and some give me a dime
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, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!
Oh, boogie!
