NOTES: "Don't Feel Like I'se Anyways Tired" or "Don't Feel No Ways Tired" or "I Don't Feel No Ways Tired" is a traditional spiritual sung by Sims Tartt and Group, near Livingston, AL that was collected by John and Ruby Lomax on their Southern States Recording Trip. One of he earliest versions is from Fenner's Fifty Cabin and Plantation Songs: Hampton and Its Students in 1874, p. 228, with tune. R. Nathaniel Dett retitled the song "I Am Seeking For A City" in his Religious Folk Songs..., p. 36-37 in 1927.
The Evening Four's version (see in this collection) is closer to "Don't Feel Like I'se Anyways Tired" collected by Lomax in 1939 (below).
Modern versions of "I Don't Feel No Ways Tired" by James Cleveland and others, also known as "I've Come Too Far From Where I've Started From," are much different than the early spiritual version.
