Dear landlord Please don't put a price on my soul My burden is heavy And my dreams are beyond control When that steam-boat whistle blows I'm gonna give you all i've got to give And i do hope you receive it, well Depending on the way you feel that you live Dear landlord Please heed these words that i speak I know you've suffered much But in this you are not so unique All of us at times, we might work too hard Too heavy, too fast and too much And anyone can fill their life up with things They can see but just cannot touch Dear landlord Please don't dismiss my case I'm not about to argue I'm not about to move to no other place Now each of us has our own special gift And you know this was meant to be true And if you don't underestimate me I won't underestimate you
