goin' down slow lyrics

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 more

I know my health is failing me now
I know I'm goin' down slow

Won'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 in

I want you tell her to pray for me
Ask her to forgive me for all my sins

Mother 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 good

Back when I was a young boy
Oh, I just didn't do the things I should

Mm, mm
Mm, mm
