Goin' Down Slow

I've had my fun

If I don't ever get well no more

I've had my fun

If I don't ever get well no more



I know my health is failing me now

I know I'm goin' down slow



Won't somebody write my mother

And tell her the shape I'm in

I want somebody to write my mother

And tell her the shape I'm in



I want you tell her to pray for me

Ask her to forgive me for all my sins



Mother please don't send me no doctor

A doctor can't do me no good

I don't want you to send me no doctor now

A doctor just can't do me no good



Back when I was a young boy

Oh, I just didn't do the things I should



Mm, mm

Mm, mm
