Going Down Slow

I have

Had my fun

If I don't get well

No more, hmm

I want to tell you I'll have a big fall

If I don't get well

No more, hmm

You see, my health is failing

And I'm going down slow

Yes, I am

Now want you to do for me is

Somebody write my father

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

Tonight but somebody call my father

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

And while you talk to him

Tell him to pray for me

And tell him to forgive me for my sins, yeah

Forgive me for all my sins

Tell him that

Early one morning

To look for, look for my close home, oh, yeah

Tell him that early one morning

Look for, look for my close home, yeah

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

All 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

Hmm, yeah, hmm, yeah, hmm, yeah, hmm, yeah, oh

Early one morning

I'm coming on home

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

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
