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
CHORUS
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
The Band was a Canadian-American rock group formed in Toronto in 1967 and disbanded in 1976, before reuniting in 1983 until 1999. The original lineup consisted of Robbie Robertson (guitar), Richard Manuel, Garth Hudson, Rick Danko, and Levon Helm. Considered one of the most influential rock bands in American music, The Band rose to fame in the 1970s with a folk-rock sound characterized by complex orchestral arrangements and poetic lyrics. Their debut album, *Music from Big Pink* (1968), is considered a classic of the genre and helped define the sound of American music in the 1970s. Among The Band's most representative songs are "The Weight", "Up on Cripple Creek" and "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down". The band collaborated with numerous artists, including Bob Dylan, with whom they toured in the 1960s and 1970s. The deaths of Richard Manuel in 1980 and Levon Helm in 2012 marked the end of an era for The Band.
