Cliff Carlisle (May 6, 1903, Taylorsville, Kentucky – April 5, 1983, Lexing… Read Full Bio ↴Cliff Carlisle (May 6, 1903, Taylorsville, Kentucky – April 5, 1983, Lexington, Kentucky) was an American country and blues singer. Carlisle was a yodeler and was a pioneer in the use of the Hawaiian steel guitar in country music.
Carlisle grew up in Kentucky, and began performing locally with cousin Lillian Truax at age 16. Truax's marriage put and end to the group, and following this Carlisle began playing with Wilber Ball, a guitarist and tenor harmonizer. The two toured frequently around the U.S. playing vaudeville and circus venues in the 1920s.
Carlisle and Ball first played at Louisville, Kentucky radio station WHAS in 1930, which would make them local stars, and later that year they recorded for Gennett Records and Champion Records. They recorded with Jimmie Rodgers in 1931. Toward the end of 1931, Carlisle signed with ARC and was offered performance slots on several radio stations nationwide, including WBT (Charlotte, North Carolina), WLS (Chicago) and WLW (Cincinnati). Cliff's brother Bill became his guitarist after Ball left in 1934. During the 1930s Carlisle, who recorded a large amount of material despite a hiatus from 1934 to 1936, frequently released songs of a frankly sexual nature, including songs with barnyard metaphors (which became something of a trademark).
Carlisle toured with his son, "Sonny Boy Tommy", to occasional consternation from authorities in areas where this contravened local child labor laws. He continued to perform on WMPS in Memphis, Tennessee for several years in the 1940s, but by the 1950s had retired from music.
In the 1960s, The Rooftop Singers covered his tune "Tom Cat Blues"; in its wake, Carlisle and Ball did a few reunion shows together and recorded for Rem Records. On April 2, 1983, Carlisle died at the age of 79.

Goin' down the road feelin' bad
I'm goin' down the road feelin' bad
Goin' down the road feelin' bad
And I ain't gonna be treated this away
Down in the jail on my knees
I'm down in the jail on my knees
Down in the jail on my knees
And I ain't gonna be treated this away
They feed me on corn bread and cheese
They feed me on corn bread and cheese
They feed me on corn bread and cheese
And I ain't gonna be treated this away
Ten dollar shoe fits my feet
A ten dollar shoe fits my feet
Ten dollar shoe fits my feet
And I ain't gonna be treated this away
Goin' where the weather fits my clothes
I'm goin' where the weather fits my clothes
I'm goin' where the weather fits my clothes
And I ain't gonna be treated this away

There's no feeling more intense than starting over.
If you've deleted your homework the day before it was due, as I have,
Or if you left your wallet at home and you have to go back, after spending an hour in the commute,
If you won some money at the casino and then put all your winnings on red, and it came up black,
If you got your best shirt dry-cleaned before a wedding and then immediately dropped food on it,
If you won an argument with a friend and then later discovered that they just returned to their original view,
Starting over is harder than starting up.
If you're not ready for that, like if you've already had a bad day
then what you're about to go through might be too much.
Feel free to go away and come back. I'll be here.

1. 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
2. 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
3. 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
4. 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
5. 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
6. 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
