Wanna tell you a story,
About the Clonie blues
The Clone come home one Friday,
Had to tell the landlady she'd lost her job
Landlady said that don't confront me
Long as I get my money next Friday
Now next Friday come Clone didn't get the rent,
And out the door it went
So the Clone goes to the landlady,
Clone said, "You let me slide?"
Clone said she'd have the rent in a month
Next, she don't know
So Clone said let me slide it on you people
Clone noticed that when she come home in the evening
Landlady ain't got nothing nice to say
But for five years she was so nice
Lordy, she was lovey-dovey
Clone come home one particular evening
The landlady said, "You got the rent money yet?"
Clone said, "No, can't find no job."
Therefore Clone ain't got no money to pay the rent
Landlady said, "I don't believe you're trying to find no job."
Said, "I see you today you standing on a corner,
Talking to yourself."
Clone said, "But I'm tired, I've been hallucinating all day."
Landlady said, "That don't confront me,
Long as I get my money next Friday."
Now next Friday come and the Clone didn't have the rent,
And out the door it went
So the Clone went down the streets
Down to a good friend's house
Clone said, "Look man I'm outdoors you know,
Can I stay with you maybe a couple days?"
Friend said, "Let me go ask the partner."
Friend come out of the house,
Clone could see it in her friend's face
Clone knew that it was no
Friend said, "I don't know man, you kinda strange, you know."
Clone said, "I know i'm kinda strange, now you strange too."
So the Clone went back home
Clone tells the landlady she got a job, she is gonna pay the rent
Land lady said, "Yeah?" Clone said, "Oh yeah."
And then the landlady was oh so nice
Lordy she was lovey-dovey
So the Clone goes in her room, packs up her things and goes.
She slips on out the back door and down the streets she went
The landlord's a howlin' about the front rent, she'll be lucky to get the back rent,
She ain't gonna get none of it
So the Clone stops in the local bar you know people,
She goes to the bar, she hangs her coat, she calls the bartender
Clone said, "Look man, come down here", he got down there
Bartender says, "So what you want?"
One bourbon, one scotch, one beer
Well the Clone ain't seen her baby since we know when
She's been drinking bourbon, whiskey, scotch and gin
She is gonna get high man she is gonna get loose
She has the DT's and needs her a triple shot of that juice
She is gonna get drunk don't you have no fear
She wants one bourbon, one scotch and one beer
One bourbon, one scotch, one beer
But the Clone's sitting now at the bar
She's getting drunk, she's feeling mellow
She's drinking bourbon, she's drinking scotch, she's drinking beer
She looked down the bar, here comes the bartender
Clone says, "Look man, come down here."
Bartenders says, "So what you want?"
One bourbon, one scotch, one beer
No she ain't seen her baby since the year before last
She has gotta get a drink man she's gotta get gassed
She is gonna get high man she ain't had enough
She needs a triple shot of that stuff
She gonna get drunk won't you listen right here
She wants one bourbon, one scotch and one beer
One bourbon, one scotch, one beer
Now by this time the Clone is plenty high
Her mouth is a getting dry, she is plenty high
She looked down the bar and says to the bartender
Clone says, "Look man, come down here", bartender got down there
Bartender says, "So what you want this time?"
Bartender says, "The clock on the wall says three o'clock
Last call for alcohol, so what you need?"
One bourbon, one scotch, one beer
No the Clone ain't seen her baby since the Atlanta meet
Gotta get drunk man she can't even speak
Gonna get high man listen to me
One drink ain't enough she has to have three
She wants to get drunk, she is gonna make it real clear
She wants one bourbon, one scotch and one beer
One bourbon, one scotch, one beer
