Monette Moore - House Rent Blues Lyrics

(knocking sound)
(spoken:)
Lord I'm broke
And here comes that rent man again

On a cold, dark and stormy night
On a cold, dark and stormy night
They want to put me out and it troubles the light

There on my door, they nailed a sign
There on my door, they nailed a sign
I've got to move from here if the rent man don't change his mind

See me comin', put your woman outdoor
When you see me comin', put your woman outdoor
You know I ain't no stranger, 'cause I've been here before

Oh Lordy what I feeling,
Rent man comes a-creeping,
In my bed a-sleeping,
He left me with these house rent blues
