Going Down Slow Songtext
von Memphis Slim

I′ve had my fun
People, if I don't get well no more
I′ve had my fun
People, if I don't get well no more
My health is failin' me
People, I′m goin′ down slow

Somebody write my mommy
Tell her the shape I'm in
Somebody write my mommy
Tell her the shape I′m in
Tell her to pray for my
Forgiveness of my sin


Mama, don't send no doctor
A doctor can′t do no good
Mama, don't send me no doctor
Doctor can′t do no good
Because it was all my fault
I never did do the things I should

But on the next train south
Look for my cold home
Mama, on the next train south
Look for my cold home
If you don't see my body
Mama, all you can do is moan

But mama please don't worry
This is all in my prayer
Mama, please don′t you worry
This is all in my prayer
You just say your son is gone
Out of this world somewhere
