Goin' Down Slow Songtext
von 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 these things I should

On the next train south
Look for my close home
On the next train south
Look for my close 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 this world somewhere
