House Lady Lyrics - Singles - Sonny Terry & Brownie Mcghee

Early every morning the house lady comes to me 

She's the best house lady, so kind to me 

Early every morning, well, the house lady comes to me 

Well, she's the best house lady 'cause she is so kind to me 

Well, soon in the morning she knocks up on my door 

I wanna clean your room, she said, like I cleaned it the morning before 

Early every morning, the house lady knocks up on my door 

Saying, I wanna clean your room, well, like I cleaned it the morning before 

Lord, she wakes me up in the morning for my coffee and tea 

And when she don't wake me up, it sure don't please me 

She wakes me up early every morning just to give me my coffee and tea 

I said when she don't wake me up, Lord, it sure don't please me, yes, yes 

I ask all of the rumors where can that nice landlady be 

If you happen to see her, tell her I can't use my key 

If you happen to see the house lady, won't you please tell her this for me 

Tell her I want her to hurry home, 'cause I can't use my key 

House lady, house lady, how can you be so mean? 

You know my room is all dirty when you used to keep it so clean 

House lady, house lady, how can you be so mean? 

You know my room is all dirty, Lord, when you used to keep it clean 

This is the way she used to clean it up now 

Watch me do it right
