Jackie Shane In My Tenement
Clothes on the wash line never look new
Smokin' herb try some green
Sun can't pass through the dirty window
But I kinda like it that way…
[Chorus]
In my tenement
At the top of the stairs…
In my tenement
She'll be waiting there…
In my tenement
This poor boy is a king
In my tenement
She gives me everything
Crumble of the subway passing by
Passes like a summer rain
I don't have nothing but a [?]
But I can never hear a complaint
[Chorus]
In my tenement
At the top of the stairs
In my tenement
She'll be waiting there
In my tenement
This poor boy is a king
In my tenement
She gives me everything
Life is hard but we don't lie
We got each other to claim to
She makes my life worthwhile with a smile
You know she makes my dreams come true
[Chorus]
In my tenement
At the top of the stairs
In my tenement
She'll be waiting there
In my tenement
This poor boy is a king
In my tenement
She gives me everything
Everything.. Give me everything…
In my tenement…
