Landlord

歌詞

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
