Going Down Slow

I've had my fun
If I never get well no more
I said I've had my fun
Ooh Lord, if I never get well no more now

You know that I telephoned the doctor man
Yeah, but he told me I was going down slow

I said if you see my mother
I want you to please, please, please tell her the shape I'm in
Whoa, if you see my mother
Yeah, I want you to please tell her the shape that I'm in

And if you see my mother
I want her to get right down on her knees and pray for all my sins
Yes, start praying about all them bad things I've done wrong now

I said Lord have mercy
Yeah, Lord have mercy on me
I said Lord have mercy
Ooh Lord have mercy on me now

I've been going down slow
Got my heart in misery
