Langston Hughes - The Ballad Of The Landlord

Langston Hughes - The Ballad Of The Landlord

Landlord, landlord, br My roof has sprung a leak. br Don't you 'member I told you about it br Way last week? br br Landlord, landlord, br These steps is broken down. br When you come up yourself br It's a wonder you don't fall down. br br Ten Bucks you say I owe you? br Ten Bucks you say is due? br Well, that's Ten Bucks more'n I'l pay you br Till you fix this house up new. br br What? You gonna get eviction orders? br You gonna cut off my heat? br You gonna take my furniture and br Throw it in the street? br br Um-huh! You talking high and mighty. br Talk on-till you get through. br You ain't gonna be able to say a word br If I land my fist on you. br br Police! Police! br Come and get this man! br He's trying to ruin the government br And overturn the land! br br Copper's whistle! br Patrol bell! br Arrest. br Precinct Station. br Iron cell.
