about
"Why Am I Treated So Bad": Another Pops Staples song from the Civil Rights era. Finnigan and Wood was basically an R&B band, and the lines between gospel and R&B can be indistinct.
The message was not overtly 'religious' - and, certainly,none of us were religious, but the idea of being mistreated because of prejudice, intolerance, or for any other reason, is one that runs through all good R&B. Our band had three good singers in it so we liked doing stuff with group harmony.

lyrics
Why, am I treated so bad?
Why, am I treated so bad?
You know I'm all alone as I sing this song,
Hear my call, I've done nobody wrong
But I'm treated so bad
I'm gonna walk out in the master lane
Things I do, they seem to be in vain
You may be blind, you may be lame,
walk on out in the master lane
Though you treat me so bad
Ooh ooh ooh ooooooh
Ooh ooh ooh oooooooh
oooh ooh ooh oooooh ooh ooh oohhh
you made me blind, you may be lame
walk on out in the master lane
Though you treat me so bad
Why, am I treated so bad?
You know I'm all alone as I sing this song,
Hear my call, I've done nobody wrong
But I'm treated so bad
I'm gonna walk out in the master lane
Things I do, they seem to be in vain
You may be blind, you may be lame,
walk on out in the master lane
Though you treat me so bad
Ooh ooh ooh ooooooh
Ooh ooh ooh oooooooh
oooh ooh ooh oooooh ooh ooh oohhh
you made me blind, you may be lame
walk on out in the master lane
Though you treat me so bad
