Knockin` Lost John — текст песни (Band, The)

I went down to Duffy`s bar with depression on my mind
Just to blow off a little steam and try to unwind
Times were getting tough with no relief in sight
Last straw I lost my job, next straw your life

Knock on knockin` lost John
The Great Depression was going strong
Hard times comin` on
Long gone knockin` lost John

Born on the south side, got my schoolin` at the pool hall
Saturday night we get back to back, Sunday mornin`, wall to wall
Never seen nothing like it, people jumpin` out of windows and going mad
That`s not half as bad as losin` what you never had

Knock on knockin` lost John
The Great Depression was going strong
Hard times comin` on
Long gone knockin` lost John

Back in 1929 it was livin` hell
Crime was on the rise when the bottom fell
Keepin` poverty pocket high upon the hill
Back door you lock it, they`ll break it still
