George Thorogood - One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer lyrics

Wanna tell you a story About the house-man blues I come home one Friday Had to tell the landlady I'd-a lost my job She said, "That don't confront 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 in a month the next I don't know" So said, "Let me slide it on", you know, people I notice when I come home in the evening She ain't got nothing nice to say to me But for five year she was so nice, loh', she was lovey-dovey I come home one particular evening 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 were standin' on a corner Leaning up against a post" I said "But I'm tired, I've been walkin' all day" She said, "That don't confront 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 with you maybe a couple of days?" He said, "Let me go and ask my wife" He come out of the house I could see it in his face, I know that was no He said, "I don't know man, ah she kinda funny, you know" 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, "Oh yeah" And then she was so nice, loh' she was lovey-dovey So I go in my room, pack up my things and I go I slip on out the back door, down the streets I go She a-howlin' about the front rent She'll 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 ring my coat, I call the bartender Said, "Look man, come down here", he got down there "So what you want?" One bourbon, one scotch and one beer Well, I ain't seen my baby since I don't know when I've been drinking bourbon, whiskey, scotch and gin Gonna get high, man, I'm gonna get loose Need me a triple shot of 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 sitting now at the bar, I'm getting 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" "So what you want?" One bourbon and 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 ga**ed Gonna get high, man, I ain't had enough Need me a triple shot of that stuff Gonna get drunk, won't you listen right here? I want one bourbon and one shot and one beer One bourbon and one scotch, one beer, [Incomprehensible] Yeah, [Incomprehensible] baby 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 say to my bartender I said, "Look, man, come down here", he got down there "So what you want this time?" I said, "Look, man, a-what time is it?" He said, "The clock on the wall say three o'clock A last call for alcohol, so what you need?" One bourbon and one scotch, one beer No, I ain't seen my baby since a nigh' and a week Gotta get drunk, man, till I can't even speak Gonna get high, man, listen to me One drink ain't enough, Jack, you better make it three Wanna get drunk, I'm gonna make it real clear I want one bourbon and one scotch and one beer One bourbon, one scotch, one beer
