Are you referring to the tune whose refrain is "And I ain't gonna be
treated this-a way"?

I doubt that Big Bill did it... but Woody Guthrie recorded a version
called "Blowin' down the Road", which can be found on the collection now
called Dust Bowl Ballads.

Hi Paul,

In fact, Big Bill did do a version of "Goin' Down This Road Feelin' Bad".
I've got live versions on a CD titled "The 1951 London Sessions" and on
another CD titled "St. Louis Blues". It's his arrangement of the song many
of us know from Woody or the Grateful Dead. A quick search at The All Music
Guide lists other folks like Etta Baker, Johnny Cash, Skeeter Davis and the
Weavers as having covered the song as well.

All the best,

Steve Comeau

You're welcome Paul. By the way, if you like Big Bill and are interested in
his cover of this song, I'd go for the 1951 London Sessions CD. He really
belts it out on that take.

Big Bill was a frequent visitor in my parents' home in Chicago while i
was a wee tot. My dad performed w/ him on political rally/labor
union/Peoples' Songs-type events... I sat on his knee many times, I'm told.

Having said that, I've never heard that London Sessions recording...
unless i did, under another name. My dad had a bunch of reel-to-reel
tapes of Bill that I heard growing up... I wonder if those tapes were
the same.

Well, thanks for the info, Steve!

Yikes! Paul Asbell, this means you were one of those dreaded Red Diaper
Babies! Indoctrinated with Stalinist doctrine in the WOMB, no doubt, and
singing "The Internationale" instead of "Mary Had A Little Lamb" when you were
but a wee tot!

Oh, NO!!! Let's hope Bill Polhemus doesn't read this post - to him it'll just
CONFIRM that you're a leftist and a traitor!

And G_d only knows what his reaction will be when he discovers that Big Bill
Broonzy was a ....(gasp, shudder)....NEGRO!!!!

Who's version? Everyone does it differently. A google search should
bring up the lyrics you want - though you might want to specify
performer too. In my head is the Delaney & Bonnie version - guess it's
the one I"ve listened to the most.

I learned it like this...

Goin' down the road feelin' bad.
Goin' down the road feelin' bad.
Goin' down the road feelin' bad.
I don't want to be treated this away.

Goin' where the climate suits my clothes.
Goin' where the climate suits my clothes.
Goin' where the climate suits my clothes.
I don't want to be treated this away.

Goin' down the road feelin' bad.
Goin' down the road feelin' bad.
Goin' down the road feelin' bad.
I don't want to be treated this away.

Goin' where the water tastes like wine.
Goin' where the water tastes like wine.
Goin' where the water tastes like wine.
I don't want to be treated this away.

Goin' down the road feelin' bad.
Goin' down the road feelin' bad.
Goin' down the road feelin' bad.
I don't want to be treated this away.

Goin' where the chilly winds don't blow.
Goin' where the chilly winds don't blow.
Goin' where those chilly winds don't blow.
I don't want to be treated this away.

But Woody Guthrie's version goes like this...

I'm blowin' down this old dusty road,
I'm blowin' down this old dusty road,
I'm blowin' down this old dusty road, Lord God,
And I ain't gonna be treated this away

I'm goin' where the water tastes like wine,
I'm goin' where the water tastes like wine,
I'm goin' where the water tastes like wine, Lord God,
And I ain't gonna be treated this away.

I'm goin' where the dust storms never blow,
I'm goin' where the dust storms never blow,
I'm goin' where the dust storms never blow Lord God,
And I ain't gonna be treated this away.

They say I'm a dust bowl refugee,
They say I'm a dust bowl refugee,
They say I'm a dust bowl refugee, Lord God,
And I ain't gonna be treated this away.

I'm looking for a job at honest pay,
I'm looking for a job at honest pay,
I'm looking for a job at honest pay, Lord God,
And I ain't gonna be treated this away.

My children need three square meals a day,
My children need three square meals a day,
My children need three square meals a day, Lord God,
And I ain't gonna be treated this away.

Your two dollar shoe hurts my feet,
Your two dollar shoe hurts my feet,
Your two dollar shoe hurts my feet, Lord God,
And I ain't gonna be treated this away.

Takes a ten dollar shoe to fit my feet,
Takes a ten dollar shoe to fit my feet,
Takes a ten dollar shoe to fit my feet, Lord God,
And I ain't gonna be treated this away.

I'm goin' down this long dusty road,
I'm goin' down this long dusty road,
I'm goin' down this long dusty road, Lord God,
I ain't gonna be treated this away.

Hope this helps!

I always liked the version from 'The Grapes of Wrath"

also I really like the verse
I'd rather drink muddy water, sleep in a hollered log
Drink muddy water and sleep in a hollered log
Drink muddy water and sleep in a hollered
than Be kicked around like so old hound dog

And let's not forget the folk process whereby one can pretty much
substiture any two syllable location for "Philly" in the follwing verse
that was often sung at The Gilded Cage back in the early '60s:

Philly water tastes like turpentine.
Philly water tastes like turpentine.
Philly water tastes like turpentine.
And I ain't gonna be treated this a'way.

I don't remember you from the Cage, Bill. This verse was so obvious that
it's hard to imagine _anyone_ hearing the trad "Goin' Down the Road..." in
Philadelphia and not instantly reinventing that verse. I can still taste
it. I surely hope it's improved by now.

I seem to recall a Guthrie verse (but it's not in the Songbook) that
immediately precedes the 'wine' verse..."This here water tastes like
turpentine." This would have been sung before the Philly variant was
invented, I guess.

Jelly Roll Morton, in his tune "Michigan Water Blues", sings

"Michgan water.. tastes like like cherry wine, (I) mean cherry wine..

Mississippi water tastes like turpentine"

Jelly recorded this in the early '20's, but I'm betting the idea goes
farther back even than that...

Odd I don't remember that. I spent more time at the 2nd Fret though.
Or was the Gilded Cage the back room of the Fret? What did they put in
that Espresso?

It seeems to me that most verses in most blues songs are pretty interchangeable.

I'm not knockin' the blues, I love them, but the themes are fairly
predictable and the same words and phrases occur often enough to allow
verses to be exchanged between songs, and it happens all the time.

I do it myself. One of the tunes that I like to do is "Good Morning
Blues", and I use verses that I know are contained in several other songs.

Lonesome road blues


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


Down in the jailhouse on my knees
Down in the jailhouse on my knees
Down in the jailhouse on my knees,good lord
And I ain't a-gonna be treated this a-way



* Refrain



They feed me on corn bread and beens
They feed me on corn bread and beens
They feed me on corn bread and beens, O lord
And I ain't a-gonna be treated this a-way



* Refrain



I ain't got no shoes on my feet
I ain't got no shoes on my feet
I ain't got no shoes on my feet, Lord God
And I ain't a-gonna be treated this a-way



* Refrain



It takes a ten dollar shoe to fit my foot
It takes a ten dollar shoe to fit my foot
It takes a ten dollar shoe to fit my foot, Great God
And I ain't a-gonna be treated this a-way



* Refrain



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



* Refrain



I'm goin' if I never get back
I'm goin' if I never get back
I'm goin' if I never get back, LOrd God
And I ain't a-gonna be treated this a-way
