The Way That I Feel - Harry Belafonte, Ben Webster, Hank Jones

This is the way that I do feel

I feel it everywhere I go

I feel just like an engine

That lost its driving wheel

I’m feeling down as a man can feel

Since she said that she don’t want me hangin' round

Feel like a tin can just a rusting way out on the dumpin' ground

It sure is hard to stumble down when you ain’t got no place to fall

Seems like in this whole world I ain’t got no place at all

I’m feeling like a stranger here

I feel like a stranger everywhere

Feel like I like to go back home

But I’m a stranger there

I’ve tried and tried

To go my way and leave the worried past behind

But every time the sun goes down

That woman stays on my mind
