I was born during the hard depression days, my lord
I was born during the hard depression days
In July, in South Georgia, the suns hot as a blaze
We had nothing
We had nothing
At the end of the day
Looking back over my life
Oh lord, I'm so depressed
Oh lord, I need some rest
Tell me how long must I wander
Tell me how long must I cry
I need someone to wipe
The tears from my eyes
Come on, baby
Rub my head
Rub my head while I lay in my bed
Kiss me baby, 'till I feel alright
'Till I feel alright
'Till I feel alright
Looking back over my life
Oh lord, I'm so depressed
