I've updated the lyrics to the Woody Guthrie song. I don't think he'd mind.

Going Down That Road Feeling Bad

D                                             D7
Goin’ down that road feelin’ bad
G                                       D
Goin’ down that road feelin’ bad
G                                      D
Goin’ down that road feelin’ bad, oh, lord
             A7                                    D
And we aint’ gonna be treated this a way

Please don’t go and turn your back on me
Please don’t go and turn your back on me
Please don’t go and turn your back on me, oh, lord
And we ain’t gonna be treated this a way

Too much talk goes on and nothin’ done
Too much talk goes on and nothin’ done
Too much talk goes on and nothin’ done, oh, lord
And we ain’t gonna to be treated this a way

Take a good hard look and you will see
Take a good hard look and you will see
Take a good hard look and you will see, oh, lord
That we ain’t  gonna be treated this a way

Hate and fear is spreading far and wide
Hate and fear is spreading far and wide
Hate and fear is spreading far and wide, oh, lord
And we ain’t gonna be treated this a way

Sisters and brothers, we are one
Sisters and brothers, we are one
Sisters and brothers, we are one, oh, lord
And we ain’t a gonna be treated this a way

Sing a song of peace on down the road
Sing a song of peace on down the road
Sing a song of peace on down the road, oh, lord
So we don’t have to be treated this a way

I know. Very distressed over here. Yesterday, in Colarodo, three were shot dead at a Planned Parenthood Clinic. We got Donald Trump running for president. Build walls! More Guns! That's all I fuggin' hear. It's sickening.

We live in such a sad and confused time.  At least your voice is singing out, giving people another way of thinking.

I wish I had answers, PS. But I think we should all be more involved by not buying into the hysteria. It really is frightening what people will buy into.

I love the slight catch in your voice which for me added emotion to your peaceful protest. Such an easy song to close your eyes and float away on, but with a strong message.

Thanks, dear Deborah. it is an emotional time round the world. Over here we've got a presidential election coming up next year. And race, guns and Muslims are big on the agenda. Put fear in the people, get elected and then it's back to business as usual.

Shows the power of great music - I wish it weren't needed but I am glad it's there. Beautifully done.

Hello Hudsonmoon. Whenever you post on Youtube I always need to pop in and  have and listen.

Can I suggest you take your guitar on to the 4.10 to Cold Spring and cheer everyone up.

Regards
