"Going Down the Road Feeling Bad" (also known as "Lonesome Road Blues") is a traditional American folk song. Wikipedia calls it "a white blues of universal appeal and uncertain origin", and the Roud Folk Song Index lists it as No. 4958. Here is my cover of it with the Yazoo Ramblers, which I posted to the channel on May 29, 2026.
Why I picked it
Yep, I feel bad a lot, and this song makes me feel better.
