I was born during the hard depression days oh my god
In July south Georgia where the Sun is hot as flames
My folks shared crops at the end of the year
We had nothing we had nothing we had nothing but grasshoppers
But looking back over my life oh Lord I'm so depressed
Help me somebody I need some rest
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
But looking back over my life oh Lord I'm so depressed
Help me somebody I need some rest
Oh Lord
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 i love
Dry these tears off my eyes
Come on baby, rub my head (rub my head)
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)
Till I feel a little better now (feel alright)
Till I feel a little better now (feel alright)
Rub my head (rub my head)
Rub my head (rub my head)
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)
Till I feel a little better now (feel alright)
Till I feel a little better now (feel alright)
Till I feel alright (feel alright)
Till I feel alright (feel alright)
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
