| Oh, it’s going down the road feeling bad
|
| Bad luck’s all I’ve ever had
|
| Going down the road feeling bad, Lord, Lord
|
| And I ain’t' a-gonna be treated this a-way
|
| Got me way down in jail on my knees
|
| This old jailer he sure is hrd to please
|
| Feed me corn, bread and peas, Lord, Lord
|
| And I ain’t gonna be treated this a-way
|
| Sweet mama, won’t you 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 a-gonna be treated this a-way
|
| And these two-dollar shoes they hurt my feet
|
| The jailer won’t gi’me enough to eat
|
| Lord, these two-dollar shoes they hurt my feet, Lord, Lord
|
| And I ain’t a-gonna be treated this a-way
|
| I’m going where the climate suits my clothes
|
| Lord, I’m going where these chilly winds never blow (hmmhmm)
|
| Going where the climate suits my clothes, Lord, Lord
|
| And I ain’t a-gonna be treated this a-way
|
| Yes, I’m going down the road feeling bad, Lord, Lord
|
| Lord, I’m going down this road feeling bad
|
| Bad luck is all I’ve ever had (it sure is)
|
| And I ain’t a-gonna be treated this a-way |
