Makes A Long Time Man Feel Bad

(albüm: The Midnight Special - 1962)

It makes a long time man feel bad
It makes a long time man feel bad
He can't get no letter
He can't hear from home
That makes a long time man feel bad

My baby sister keeps writing "Come on home"
My baby sister keeps writing "Come on home"
And my tears run down 'cause my time's so long
It makes a long time man feel bad

Well, surely my mother must be gone
Surely, surely my mother must be gone
Well surely my mother must be gone, oh Lord
That makes a long time man feel bad

There ain't no doctor, no doctor in all this land
There ain't no doctor, no doctor in all this land
Ain't no doctor can cure the fever of a convict man
That makes a long time man feel bad

It makes a long time man feel bad
It makes a long time man feel bad
He can't get no letter
He can't even hear from home
That makes a long time man feel bad
