Knockin' Lost John Lyrics - Islands - Band

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

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
