Thank you, my friend CW5 Jack Cardwell for sharing the audio track of banjo player and country singer Cynthia May Carver known professionally as Cousin Emmy and Her Kinfolks performing Lonesome Road Blues.
"Lonesome Road Blues" written and recorded by Bill Monroe
Lyrics
"I’m going down this road feeling bad
I’m going down this road feeling bad
I’m going down this road feeling bad, lord, lord
And I ain’t a-gonna be treated this a-way
I’m down in the jailhouse on my knees
Down in the jailhouse on my knees
Down in the jailhouse on my knees, lord, lord
And I ain’t a-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, lord, lord
And I ain’t a-gonna be treated this a-way
Got two dollar shoes on my feet
Got two dollar shoes on my feet
Two dollar shoes they hurt my feet, lord, lord
And I ain’t a-gonna be treated this a-way
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
I’m going where the weather fits my clothes
I’m going where the weather fits my clothes
I’m going where the weather fits my clothes, lord lord
And I ain’t a-gonna be treated this a-way"
