Makes a Long Time Man Feel Bad lyrics

[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
Well, surely my mother must be gone
Well, surely my mother must be gone
Well, surely my mother must be gone, oh Lord
Makes a long-time man feel bad

[Verse 3]
Oh Alberta, let your hair grow long
Alberta, let your hair grow long
Let it grow so long 'til it drags the ground
Alberta, let your hair grow long

[Verse 4]
Well, I had five years one time
I had (I had) five years (five years) one time (one time)
I had (I had) five years (five years) one time (one time), oh Lord
But I rode it 'til I rolled it down

[Verse 5]
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
[Outro]
Makes a long-time man feel bad
