Abner Jay - Depression Blues Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I was born during the hard
Depression days, oh my God
In July, South Georgia
Where the sun was hot as flames
My folks was sharecroppers
At the end of the year
We had nothing, we had nothing
We had nothing but grasshoppers

[Chorus]
But looking back over my life
Oh, Lord, I'm so depressed
Help me, somebody, I need some rest

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]
Well, I hitchhiked to New York City
Chicago, Cleveland, and Detroit
Singing loud and singing strong
Everywhere I went alone
Sometimes I wonder why was I born
Somebody tell me, why was I born
Born to lose, why was I born
[Chorus]
But looking back over my life
Oh, Lord, I'm so depressed
Help me, somebody, I need some rest
Oh, Lord

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
Every girl needs a boy
Every boy needs a girl
Every girl needs a woman
Every boy, he needs a man
I'm just a man so full of love
But I have no one to hold my hand
Tell me how long must I wander
Tell me how long must I cry
Ain't there someone, someone who'll wipe
Dry these tears off my eyes

[Refrain]
C'mon baby, rub my head (Rub my head)
Rub my hair (Rub my head) while I lay down in my bed (Rub my head)
Kiss me (Kiss me, baby)
Kiss me, baby (Kiss me, baby)
Till I feel alright (Kiss me, baby)
Till I feel alright (Kiss me, baby)
Let me feel a little better now (Feel alright)
Well, I feel a little better now (Feel alright)
[Instrumental Break]

[Refrain]
Rub my head (Rub my head)
Rub my head (Rub my head)
Rub my hair (Rub my head) while I lay down in my bed (Rub my head)
Kiss me (Kiss me, baby)
Kiss me, baby (Kiss me, baby)
Till I feel alright (Kiss me, baby)
Till I feel alright (Kiss me, baby)
Let me feel a little better now (Feel alright)
Let me feel a little better now (Feel alright)
Till I feel alright (Feel alright)
Till I feel alright (Feel alright)

[Chorus]
But looking back over my life
Oh, Lord, I'm so depressed
Help me, somebody, I need some rest
Oh, Lord, I'm so depressed
