Goin’ Down Slow

St. Louis Jimmy Oden

[Verse 1]
I've had my fun
Well if I don't get well on my own
I've had my fun
People if I don't get well on my own
Well you know my health is failin' me
Oh people, I'm goin' down slow

[Verse 2]
Writin' my mother
Tellin' her what shape I'm in
Writin' my mother
Won't you tell her what shape I'm in
Tell her to pray for me
Oh please, forgive me for my sins

[Verse 3]
On the next train South
Let's look for my clothes back home
On the next train South
You can look for my clothes back home
If you don't see my body
All you can do is weep and moan

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 4]
Don't send no doctor
You know the doctor won't do no good
Oh, don't send no doctor
You know the doctor won't do no good
Well it's my own fault, baby
I didn't do the things I should

[Verse 5]
I've had my fun
If I never get well no more
Oh, I've had my fun
If I never get well no more
Well my health is failin' me
Well people, I'm goin' down slow
