Goin' Down Slow

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
People, I'm going down slow
Now, please ring my mother
And tell her the shape I'm in
Please ring my mother
And tell her the shape I'm in
Just tell her I pray for my
Forgiveness of my sin
Mama, don't send no doctor
A doctor can't do no good
Mama, don't send no doctor
You know a doctor can't do no good
You know it was all my fault
I didn't do the things I should
So on the next train south
Look for my close home
On the next train south
Look for my close home
Now, if you don't see my body
All you can do is moan
Now, mama, please don't worry
Because this is all in my prayer
Mama, please don't worry
You know this is all in my prayer
You just say your son is gone
Out of this world somewhere
