Lonesome Road Blues    (1918)

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

Down in the jailhouse on my knees
Down in the jailhouse on my knees
Down in the jailhouse on my knees, great God
And I ain't a-gonna be treated this a-way

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

They feed me on corn bread and beans
They feed me on corn bread and beans
They feed me on corn bread and beans, O Lord
And I ain't a-gonna be treated this a-way

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

I ain't got no shoes on my feet
I ain't got no shoes on my feet
I ain't got no shoes on my feet, Lord God
And I ain't a-gonna be treated this a-way

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

It takes a ten dollar shoe to fit my foot
It takes a ten dollar shoe to fit my foot
It takes a ten dollar shoe to fit my foot, great God
And I ain't a-gonna be treated this a-way

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

I'm going where the climate suits my clothes
I'm going where the climate suits my clothes
I'm going where the climate suits my clothes, O Lord
And I ain't a-gonna be treated this a-way

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

I'm goin' if I never get back
I'm goin' if I never get back
I'm goin' if I never get back, Lord God
And I ain't a-gonna be treated this a-way

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

Recorded by Bill Monroe and many others.
