Going Down Slow

[Verse 1]
I have had my fun
If I don't get well, no more
I have had my fun
If I don’t get well, no more
You know my health is now fadin'
And I'm goin’ down slow

[Verse 2]
Yeah, please write my mother
And tell her the shape I'm in
Please write my mother
Tell her the shape I'm in
Tell her to pray for me
Forgive me for all my sins

[Instrumental Interlude]

[Verse 3]
Tell her to don't send me no doctor
The doctor can do me no good
Tell her to don't send me no doctor
'Cause he can do me no good
Tell her it's all my fault
I didn't do the things I should

[Verse 4]
On that next train south
Look for me to come home
On that next train south
Look for me to come home
Well, if you don’t see my body
All you can do is moan

[Instrumental Interlude]

[Verse 1]
I have had my fun
If I don’t get well, no more
I have had my fun
If I don't get well, no more
You know my health is now fading
And I’m goin' down slow
