Lyrics Knockin’ Lost John - The 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
