Pity the Downtrodden Landlord


F Bb F
Please open your hearts and your purses
F7 Bb Bbm F
To a man who is misunderstood
A A7 Dm
He gets all the kicks and the curses
G G7 C7
Though He wishes you nothing but good
F Bb F
He wistfully begs you to show him
F7 Bb Bbm F
You think he's a friend, not a louse;
F#dim C
So remember the debt that you owe him
C#dim Dm7 G7 C7
The landlord who lends you his house
F Bb F
So pity the downtrodden landlord
F7 Bb Bbm F
And his back that is burdened and bent
F#dim Gm C7 F
Respect his gray hairs, don't ask for repairs
Gm C7 F
And don't be behind with the rent.


When thunder clouds gather and darken
You can sleep undisturbed in your bed;
But the landlord must sit up and hearken
And shiver, and wonder, and dread;
If you're killed, then you die in a hurry
And you never will know your bad luck,
But the landlord is shaking with worry ---
"Has one of my houses been struck?"

When a landlord resorts to eviction
Don't think that he does it for spite;
He's acting from deepest conviction,
And what's right, after all, is what's right.
But I see that your hearts are all hardened
And I fear I'm appealing in vain;
Yet I hope my last plea will be pardoned
If I beg on my knees once again:
