I was born during the hard Depression days, O my Lord. In July in south Georgia, where the sun was hot as a blaze. My folks were sharecroppers. At the end of the year, we had nothing, we had nothing. We had nothing but grasshoppers. Looking back over my life, O Lord, I'm so depressed. Help me somebody, I need some rest. O Lord, I'm so depressed. Every boy needs a girl. Every girl needs a boy. I'm a boy so full of love. I have no one to hold my hand. Tell me how long must I wander. Tell my how long must I cry. Will I meet someone? Someone to wipe, dry the tears from my eye? Come on baby, rub my head! Rub my head while I lay down in my bed! Kiss, kiss me! Kiss me baby 'til I feel alright! 'Til I feel alright! Hey! O looking back over my life, O Lord, I'm so depressed. Help me somebody, I need some rest. O Lord, I'm so depressed.
