Lyrics
I went down to Duffy's bar with depression on my mind
Blow off a little steam and try not whine
Times were getting tough, with no relief in sight
Last straw I lost my job, next straw your life
Long gone Knockin' Lost John
The Great Depression was going strong
Hard times coming on
Long gone Knockin' Lost John
Born on the south side
Got my schooling at the pool hall
Saturday night we get back to back
Sunday morning, wall to wall
Never seen nothing like it
Jumping out windows, going mad
That's not half as bad as losing what you never had
Long gone Knockin' Lost John
The Great Depression was going strong
Hard times coming on
Long gone Knockin' Lost John
Long gone Knockin' Lost John
The Great Depression was going strong
Hard times coming on
Long gone Knockin' Lost John
Back in 1929, it was living hell
Crime was on the rise when the bottom fell
Deep in poverty pocket, out on the bumpy hill
Back door you lock it, they'll break in still
Long gone Knockin' Lost John
The Great Depression was going strong
Hard times coming on
Long gone Knockin' Lost John
