Ballad of the Landlord - Still on the Hill

Composed by：Kelly Mulhollan/Langston Hughes

Hoo landlord landlord

My roof has sprung a leak

Don't you 'member I told you about it

Way last week

Hoo landlord landlord

These steps is broken down

When you come up yourself

It's a wonder you don't fall down

It's a wonder don't fall down

Ten bucks you say I owe you

Ten bucks you say is due

Well that's ten bucks more'n I'l pay you

Till you fix this house up new

What you gonna get eviction orders

You gonna cut off my heat

You gonna take my furniture and

Throw it in the street

And throw it in the street

Um-huh you talk so high mighty

Talk on-till you get through

You ain't gonna be able to say a word

If I land my fist on you

Hoo police man police man

Come and get this man

He's trying to ruin the government

And overturn the land

And overturn the land

Man threatens landlord

Tenant held no bail

Judge gives negro 90 days in county jail

90 days in county jail

90 days in county jail

90 days in county jail
