makes a long time man feel bad

Harry Belafonte

It makes a long time man feel bad
It makes a long time man feel bad
He canââ?¬â?¢t get no letter
He canââ?¬â?¢t hear from home
That makes a long time man feel bad

My baby sister keeps a writingââ?¬â?¢ ââ?¬Å?come on homeââ?¬
My baby sister keeps a writinââ?¬â?¢ ââ?¬Å?come on homeââ?¬
And my tears run down ââ?¬Ë?cause my timeââ?¬â?¢s so long
It makes a long time man feel bad

Well bad.
Surely my mother must be gone
Well 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 ainââ?¬â?¢t no doctor no doctor in all this land
There ainââ?¬â?¢t no doctor no doctor in all this land
Ainââ?¬â?¢t no doctor can cure fever of a convict man
That makes a long time man feel bad.
