I have had my fun if I never get well no more
I have had my fun if I never get well no more
All of my health is failing;
Lord, I'm going down slow,
I'm going down slow

Please write my mother and tell her the shape I'm in
Please write my mother and tell her the shape I'm in
Tell her to pray for me,
Forgive me for my sin,
For all of my sin

On the next train south, look for my clothes back home
On the next train south, look for my clothes back home
'Cause all of my health is failing;
Lord, I'm going down slow,
I'm going down slow

All of my health is failing;
Lord, I'm going down slow,
I'm going down slow

Feel like I'm going, like I'm going down slow
I feel like I'm going, like I'm going down slow
I feel like I'm going, like I'm going down slow
I feel like I'm going, like I'm going down slow
I feel like I'm going, like I'm going down slow
