House Lady Lyrics & Tabs by Sonny Terry & Brownie McGhee
House Lady
guitar chords lyrics
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
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
