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
