The Depression Blues Songtext
von Leroy Carr

Hello, Leroy
Hello, Scrap
Boy, what′s the matter with your clothes?
Why you look raggeder 'n a barrel of kraut
You look like you might have a mind to run rabbits or somethin′
Why I've never seen you look like you do
Tell me this, just what is the matter with you?
Boy, depression's got me


The depression′s on, and it′s really on bad
Depression's on, and it′s really on bad
Now Lord I can't have no good times I once have had

There have been times I have had plenty of dough
There have been times I have had plenty of dough
But the rent man done told me I couldn′t stay here no more

Ooh ooh ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh ooh ooh
The depression is on me and I don't know what to do

So this is all I have to say, I′ll be on my way
So this is all I have to say, I'll be on my way
But I hope this depression will get over and things will come my way
