Goin' Down Slow, Pts. 1 & 2

Well I had my fun

I if I don't get well no more

You know I had big fun, haha

If I don't get well no more

You know my health began to fail me

And lord I'm goin' down slow

I want somebody to write my mother

And tell her the shape I'm in

Somebody please write my mother

Tell her the shape I'm in

Tell her I want her to pray for me

And ask the lord to forgive me for

All my low down dirty sins

Tell her don't send no doctor

Doctor can't do me no good

Tell mother please don't send no doctor

Doctor can't do me no good

And tell her it was all my fault

I just didn't do the things I should

On the next train south

Tell mother please look for my clothes back home

Yes, on the next train south

Tell mother please look for everything I got back home

And tell her if she don't see this old body of mine

All she can do lord is weep and moan
