Going Down Slow

James Burke Oden

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
Now, my health is failing me
Lord knows, I am going down slow.

Please write my mother, tell her the shape I'm in
Please write my mother, tell her the shape I'm in
Tell her to pray for me
And to forgive me for all of my sins

Don't send no doctor, doctor won't do poor me no good
Don't send no doctor, doctor won't do poor me no good
It's all my fault, all my fault
I didn't do a damned thing that I should
