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
One bourbon  one scotch  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
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't you listen right here
I want one bourbon  one shot and one beer
One bourbon  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
I wanna get drunk I'm gonna make it real clear
I want one bourbon  one scotch and one beer
One bourbon  one scotch  one beer
One bourbon  one scotch  one beer
One bourbon  one scotch  one beer
