Going Down The Road Feeling Bad

Oh, it's going down this road feeling bad
Bad luck's all I've ever had
Going down this road feeling bad, Lord, Lord
And I ain't gonna be treated this way

Got me way down in jail on my knees
This old jailer, he sure is hard to please
Feed me on corn, bread and peas, Lord, Lord
And I ain't gonna be treated this way
How do you feel about it, Merle?

Sweet mama won't buy me no shoes
Lord, she's left me with these lonesome jailhouse blues
My sweet mama won't buy me no shoes, Lord, Lord
And I ain't gonna be treated this way

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

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

Yes, I'm going down this road feeling bad, Lord, Lord
Lord, I'm going down this road feeling bad
Bad luck's all I've ever had, it sure is
And I ain't gonna be treated this way
Take it one time, boys
