Goin' Down Slow

I've had my fun
If I don't ever get well no more
I've had my fun
If I don't ever get well no moreI know my health is failing me now
I know I'm goin' down slowWon't somebody write my mother
And tell her the shape I'm in
I want somebody to write my mother
And tell her the shape I'm inI want you tell her to pray for me
Ask her to forgive me for all my sinsMother please don't send me no doctor
A doctor can't do me no good
I don't want you to send me no doctor now
A doctor just can't do me no goodBack when I was a young boy
Oh, I just didn't do the things I shouldMm, mm
Mm, mm
