Thread Name: Lyr Req: Landlord's coughing blood
Subject: Know lyrics, but what's the song?
Heard this song in the mid-seventies and taped it, but I have no idea who it's by or what it's called. The lyrics go something like...

Landlord's coughing blood
You know he's almost sick as me
But that don't never pay my rent
Or keep me company
Company I keep is just like waiting for a train
???????????????????? and you stand out in the rain

So long down the line
So long down the line

?????????? mum and dad
You know a decent boy like me
Feed myself most everday
On yams, chips, beans


Any ideas?
