Lyrics Going Down Slow (Live 1971/Mr. Kelly's - Chicago) - Muddy Waters

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

My health is failing me
And I'm going down slow

Please write to my mother
Tell her the shape I'm in
Please write to my mother
Tell her the shape I'm in

Tell her to pray for me
To forgive me for my sins

Tell her don't send no doctor
Doctor can't do me no good
Tell her don't send no doctor
The doctor can't do me no good

Tell her It's all my fault
I didn't do the things that I should

On the next train south
Look for my clothes on
On the next train south
Look for my clothes on

Well if you don't see my body
All you can do is moan

Mother, please don't worry
This is all in my pride
Mother, please don't worry
This is all in my pride

Just say your son is gone
Out of this world somewhere
