One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer Lyrics - 20th Century Masters The Millenium Collection - 10 Great Songs: - George Thorogood

Want to tell you a story 

About the house-man blues 

I come home one Friday 

Had to tell the landlady I'da 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 you in a month 

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 lovy-dovy 

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 was 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 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 lovy-dovy 

So I go in my room, pack up my things and I go 

I slip on out the back door and 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, 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, 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 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 

 

Yeah 

Scratch my back, baby 

Ah 

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 

Last call for alcohol 

So what you need? 

 

One bourbon, one scotch, one beer 

No I ain't seen my baby since a nigh' and a week 

Gotta get drunk man 'til I can't even speak 

Gonna get high man listen to me 

One drink ain't enough Jack you better make it three 

I want to get drunk I'm gonna make it real clear 

I want one bourbon, one scotch and one beer 

One bourbon, one scotch, one beer
