Going Down Slow

I have had my fun, if I don't get well no more

I want to tell you I've had big fun if I don't get well no more

You see my health is failing

And I'm going down slow, yes I am

Now what I want you to do for me

Somebody write my father, tell him the shape that I'm in, oh yeah

Oh early tonight will someone call my father,

Tell him the, tell him the shape that I'm in, oh yeah

And while you're talkin' to him, tell him to pray for me

And tell me to forgive me, forgive me for all my sins

Yeah forgive me for my sins

Tell him that I'm heading on my way,

Look for, look for me close home, oh yeah

Tell him early one morning to look for, to look for me close home, yeah

You tell him just in case he don't see my body

Oh he can do, all he can do is stand there and moan

And I believe he can do, yes he can, yeah, yes he can, yeah

Mmmmmmmmm

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah oh

Early one morning

I'm coming on home

And I believe I'll make it there, yes I do, yes I do

And I tell you, I tell you that

Early one morning I'm going on home

And I believe to my soul yeah I'm gonna make it there, yes I do

Oh but just in case, he don't see my body

Let me him know his child has gone out of this world

Some way

Right now I'm going down, oh oh, I'm going down real slow
