I’m Going Down the Road Feeling Bad (Lonesome Road Blues)

Lyrics

(Folk song)

1. I’m going down the road feeling bad,
I’m going down the road feeling bad,
I’m going down the road feeling bad, Lord, Lord,
And I ain’t gonna be treated this a-way.

2. I’m a-lookin’ for a job with honest pay…
And I ain’t gonna be treated this a-way.

3. These two dollar shoes hurt my feet…

4. But ten dollar shoes fit ’em neat…
