Going Down Slow
James B. 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
