Every Friday evening,
I'd come home with my paycheck

My meals on time,

I said, "Yes, I am"
And she told me,
the other evening, she passed by
She saw me on the corner
leaned against a post
Verse 6

been walking all day"
I'm tired, I just can't find no job
She say, "Yeah"
She say, "I wants my rent"

And rocked on
Em
I go towards the streets,
to a friend of mine

And I told him, I say, "Hey"
He said, "What, Johnny?"
"I done lost my job"
He say, "Yeah"
Verse 8
Em
I say, "I'm gonna stay here for a little while
until I can get a job"
He said, "I don't know,
let me go upstairs and see my wife, you know"
He goes upstairs,
he comes back down
He said, "You know what?
You know, she a little funny"
I said, "Yeah, and you funny, too;
everybody's funny
When you ain't got no money,
when you run out of money
Verse 9
Everybody's funny wit' ya"
Em
Then I go back towards the streets,
you know, back to old landlady
I go fool her, you know,
to get my clothes out of the house
I said, "Hey"
She said, "What?"
"I got a job"
She said, "Yeah, yeah,
sho'nuff, sho'nuff, yeah
Verse 10
When you start the work?"
Em
I said, "Oh baby, I start tomorrow"
She said, "Oh yeah? You hungry?"
I said, "Yeah"
She goes to the store, you know
I rush upstairs to get my clothes out,
she talkin' 'bout the front rent
She'll get nothin',
she'll get the back rent and will get none of it
