GOING DOWN SLOW Lyrics

ODEN



Yes I've had my fun 
if I don't get well no more 
yes I've had my fun, baby 
if I don't get well no more 
you see I have this pain in me 
an I'm goin down slow 

won't somebody write my mother 
tell her the shape I'm in 
please write my mother 
tell her to pray for me 
tell her to forgive my sin 

tell her don't send no doctor 
yes a doctor can do me no good 
yes no doctor mama 
doctor can do me no good 
but you see through all of my trials 
I never did all the things I could 

on the next train south 
baby you can look for my... 
on the next train south 
mama, you can look for... 
yes now if you see my baby baby 
yes you know I'm dead and gone
