MAKES A LONG TIME MAN FEEL BAD
As recorded by Ian and Sylvia on “Ian and Sylvia” (1962)

Makes a long-time man feel bad.
Makes a long-time man feel bad.
Can’t get no letters; can’t hear from home.
Makes a long-time man feel bad.

Well, surely my mother must be gone.
Well, surely my mother must be gone.
Well, surely my mother must be gone, O Lord.
Makes a long-time man feel bad.

O Alberta, let your hair grow long.
Alberta, let your hair grow long.
Let it grow so long till it drags the ground.
Alberta, let your hair grow long.

Well, I had five years one time.
I had five years one time.
I had five years one time, O Lord,
But I rode it till I rolled it down.

Makes a long-time man feel bad.
Makes a long-time man feel bad.
Can’t get no letter, can’t hear from home.
Makes a long-time man feel bad.
Makes a long-time man feel bad.
