[Spoken]

Well I don't know I don't know how old a man you are

But I know what it was in the early 30's

How was it

It was rough but um the way it's goin' right now a year from now you watch it

What

When people's is all out of jobs and no money to support the economy

What have you got

What

You g.. Huh

What have you got

You've got a depression that's what you've got

[Verse]
E A
There's an old man sittin' in a rented room
E B7 E
Sittin' and watchin' the wall
E A
Tryin' to remember the good ole days
E B7 E
And wonderin' why the kids don't call
E A
They used to go drivin' in the summer sun
E B7 E
When his woman was alive
E A
Now he reads his Gideon Bible and waits
E B7 E
For his welfare check to arrive

[Chorus]
A E B7 E
He got the hard time hungrys doin' the best that he can
A E C#m E B7 E
Lord the hard time hungrys are spreadin' all over the land

[Verse]
E A
There's a Tennessee housewife shoppin' in the market
E B7 E
Wearin' last year's jeans
E A
She picks up a roast then changes her mind
E B7 E
Puts it back down and buys some more beans
E A
Her old man's workin' in the filling station
E B7 E
And what's he gonna say
E A
When he sits down to a table full of nothin'
E B7 E
After workin' like a dog all day

[Chorus]
