Lonesome Road Blues

Lyrics: Traditional
Music: Traditional

Played by the Good Old Boys in 1975 with Jerry Garcia sitting in on banjo. It clearly derives from the same roots as Goin' Down The Road Feeling Bad - and a number of other related songs with each verse ending "Ain't gonna be treated this a-way".

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

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

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

Going down this road feeling bad
I’m going down this road feeling bad
Going down this road feeling bad, lord, lord
And I ain’t gonna be treated this a-way
