Going Down The Road Feeling Bad (G, 4/4)

G---G---/C---G---/C---G---/G-D-G---

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

I'm going where the water tastes like wine. ...

I'm going where the weather suits my clothes. ...

They fed me on cornbread and beans. ...

Watson:
Oh, I'm going down the road feeling bad
Bad luck's all I've ever had
Yes, I'm going down the road feeling bad, Lord, Lord
And I aint' gonna be a treated this a way

Got me way down in jail on my knees
This old jailer he sure is hard to please
Fed me cornbread and beans, Lord, Lord
And I ain't gonna be a treated this a way

Sweet mama, won't you buy me no shoes
She's left me with these lonesome jailhouse blues
Yes, my sweet mama won't buy me no shoes, Lord, Lord
And I ain't gonna be a treated this a way

And these two-dollar shoes they hurt my feet
The jailer won't gi'me enough to eat
Yes, these two-dollar shoes they hurt my feet, Lord, Lord
And I ain't gonna be treated this a way

I'm going where the weather suits my clothes
Lord, I'm going where these chilly winds never blow
Yes, I'm going where the weather suits my clothes, Lord, Lord
And I ain't gonna be a treated this a way

I'm going down the road feeling bad, Lord, Lord
Bad luck is all I've ever had
Yes, I'm going down this road feeling bad
And I ain't gonna be a treated this a way
