Feel So Bad

Lyrics: Chuck Willis
Music: Chuck Willis

Played by Bob Weir with Kingfish in the mid-1970s. This is a version sung by Bob Weir on 19 April 1975;

Feel so bad now
Feel like a ball game on a rainy day
Feel so bad now
Feel like a ball game on a rainy day
My woman left me
Shake my hand and walk away

Trying to tell you people
Tell you exactly about how I feel
Trying to tell you people
Tell you exactly 'bout how I feel
My woman left me
My woman gave me a dirty deal

Trying to tell you people
Tell you exactly 'bout how I feel
Trying to tell you people
Tell you exactly 'bout how I feel
My woman left me
My woman gave me a dirty deal

Feel so bad now
Feel like a ball game on a rainy day
Feel so bad now
Feel like a ball game on a rainy day
My woman left me
My woman left and walked away

Trying to tell you people
Tell you 'bout, exactly 'bout how I feel
Trying to tell you people
Tell you exactly 'bout how I, how I feel
My woman left me
My woman gave me a dirty deal

Feel so bad now
Feel like a ball game on a rainy day
Feel so bad now
Feel like a ball game on a rainy, rainy, rainey day
My woman left me
My woman upped and walked away
Walk away

My woman left me
My woman upped and walked away

This is from a version sung by Tim Bogert with Bob Weir and Friends on 10 March 1983.

Feel so bad
Feel like a ball game on a rainy day
I tell you I feel so bad
Feel like a ball game on a rainy day
Since I got my bags packed
Take this train, baby, ride away

Sometimes I want to stay here
Then again I want to leave here
Sometimes I want to stay here
Then again I want to leave here
Go away somewhere
My whole world is troubled and grey

Just trying to tell you people
Tell you all how I feel
Trying to tell you people
Tell you all how I feel
Tell you I feel so bad
My baby's done me a dirty deal

Tell you, I feel so bad
Feel like a [?] ball on a rainy day
Yes I feel so bad
Feel like a [?] ball on a rainy day
Since I lost my baby
Take this train, baby, and ride away

Sometimes I want to stay here
Then again I want to leave here
Sometimes I want to stay here
Then again I want to leave
Tell you [?]
My baby done me
My baby done me
My baby done me a dirty deal

There's a Kingfish recording (severely cut) from 17 November 1974 which starts with a verse:

Sometimes I think I won't
And then again, I think I will
Sometimes I think I won't
And then again, I know I will
I'm so downhearted
My woman gave me a dirty deal
I feel so bad now
Feel like a ball game on that rainy day
Feel so bad
Feel like a ball game on that rainy day
