Jimmy Cox, a writer of many Depression era songs, wrote this timeless, true song in..I think..1923
First to sing it and bring it to world wide attention was Bessie Smith. Due to the Stock Market crash and declining revenue Columbia cancelled her recording contract depriving Ms Smith of the royalties due her.
