Johnson - Depression Blues - 1961 I'm looking for a Depression in nineteen and sixty-one And what grieves me so bad, I can't have no more fun I've been driving, I've been walking, until my hands and feet is tired And I been goin' here and yonder but I can't find a job A man called me down in the alley, and I went there by myself That man had a little job and give it to someone else And I went out on the railroad, my friend told me to go He had all the men he wanted and he wasn't gonna hire no more Now I'll admit, the times is hard, and that is everywhere you go And all I do for my little woman, she just don't be pleased no more I walked all night long, my poor feet is soakin' wet I's lookin' for that little woman but I haven't found her yet I's lookin' for that little woman but I haven't found her yet I don't take the daily paper, I don't have time to hear the news I'm just a-rollin', rollin', rollin' with the Depression Blues I'm gonna take you for my friend, whoever you might be But if you hears of a job, will you break it on down to me? I'm feeling sad and lonesome, but man, I been sad all day But, well, I had a sweet little woman but unkindness drove her away Well, it seem mighty hard, but I brought it all on myself For she was so kind to me but I was lovin' someone else ***** |
