from linernotes of Freight Train and Other North Carolina Folk Songs and Tunes (Folkways Records Album No. Folkways SF 40009)





GOING DOWN THE ROAD FEELING BAD
Traditional?


Going down the road feeling bad
honey babe Lord
Going down the road feeling bad
honey babe Lord
Going down the road feeling bad
I don't want to be treated this way

Girl I love done turned her back on me
honey babe Lord
Girl I love done turned her back on me
honey babe Lord
Girl I love done turned her back on me
I don't want to be treated this way

Thought I heard a whistle blow
honey babe Lord
Thought I heard a whistle blow
Thought I heard a whistle blow
Lord it blowed like it ain't gonna blow no more





One of the most popular bleakdowns of all time played and sung here as a lonesome blues - (Mike Seeger)
