Going Down Slow

Going Down Slow - St. Louis Jimmy Oden

I have had my fun

If I don't get well no more

I have had my fun

If I don't get well no more

My health is failing me

And I'm going down slow

Please write my mother

Tell her the shape I'm in

Please write my mother

Tell her the shape I'm in

Tell her to pray for me

Forgiveness of my sin

Tell her don't send no doctor

Doctor can't do no good

Tell her don't send no doctor

Doctor can't do no good

It's all my fault

Didn't do the things I should

On the next train south

Look for my clothes home

On the next train south

Look for my clothes home

If you don't see my body

All you can do is moan

Mother please don't worry

This is all in my prayer

Mother please don't worry

This is all in my prayer

Just say your son is gone

Out of his world somewhere
