Going 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 head is failin' me and I'm goin' 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, forgive me for my sins

Tell her, don't send no doctor, doctor can't do no good
Tell her, don't send no doctor, doctor can't do no good
It's all my fault, didn't do the things I should

Mother, please don't worry, this is only my prayer
Mother, please don't worry, this is only my prayer
Just say your son is gone, out of this world somewhere
