It Makes a Long Time Man Feel Bad Lyrics by Alan Lomax

Negro Prison Blues And Songs

1958

It makes a long, oh, time man, oh, feel bad
It makes a long, oh, time man, oh, feel bad
It makes a long, oh, time man, oh, feel bad
Oh, my Lord (Lordy), when he can't get a letter, oh, from home (Yes sir!)
Oh, Captain George, he was a hard, oh, drivin' man (Yes he was!)
Oh, Captain George, he was a hard, oh, drivin' man
Oh, Captain George, he was a hard, oh, drivin' man
Oh, my Lord (Lordy), out on the Gulf and Shelf Island Road
Oh, Captain George, oh, don't drive, oh, so hard
Oh, Captain George, oh, don't drive, oh, so hard
Oh, Captain George, oh, don't drive, oh, so hard
Oh my Lord (Lordy), out on the Gulf and Shelf Island Road
Oh, there's a wrecker out on the road somеwhere
Oh, therе's a wrecker out on the road, oh, somewhere
Oh, there's a wrecker out on the road, oh, somewhere
Oh my Lord (Oh, Lordy), out on the Gulf and Shelf Island Road
