Harry Belafonte — Makes a Long Time Man Feel Bad

[Verse 1] 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 [Verse 2] My baby sister keeps writin' "Come on home" My baby sister keeps writin' "Come on home" And my tears run down 'cause my time's so long It makes a long time man feel bad [Verse 3] 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 [Verse 4] 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 [Outro] 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
