I'm sitting here lonely like a broken man.
I serve my time doin' the best I can.
Walls and bars they surround me.
But, I don't want no sympathy.

No baby, no baby,
All I need is some tender lovin'.
To keep me sane in this burning oven.
And, when my time is up, you'll be my reefer.

Life gets worse on God's green earth.
Be my reefer, got to keep smokin' that thing.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

I said now baby baby let me smoke it smoke it
Makes me feel good feel good, yes, I feel good ah
Yes, I feel alright feel alright yes, I feel alright feel alright
Yes, I feel alright ah
Oh

Ice cold water is runnin' through my veins.
They try and drag me back to work again.
Pain and blisters on my mind and hands.
I work all day making up burlap bags.


The oats they're feeding me are driving me wild.
I feel unhappy like a new born child.
Now, when my time is up, you wait and see.
These walls and bars won't keep that stuff from me.

No, no, baby,
Won't keep that stuff from me.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

I need you right now mama.
I need you right now baby.
Right by my side, honey.
All night long.

Make me feel alright
Yes, all yes, all yes, all alright.

You better come on up and get down with me.
I'll make you feel real good, just you wait and see.

Make me feel alright yes, I feel alright
Yes, all yes, all yes, alright.

    General Comment:it's a remake of the Animals song with slight changes of wording. I prefer this version. The live version of this is terrific when the crowd yells out "nickel bags". The video's for it are sweet time capsules. You can see them preform this live at the festival in '69 on youtube, what a performance. This song is my all time favorite.

    General Comment:oh yea. i also think this song is about a dude, who smokes pot, whose currently locked up and wishing he had a joint. and even if it's not what it's about -- it sure sounds good.
