Going Down Slow

I have
Had my fun
If I don't get well
No more, hmm

I want to tell you I'll have a big fall
If I don't get well
No more, hmm

You see, my health is failing
And I'm going down slow
Yes, I am

Now want you to do for me is
Somebody write my father
Tell him the shape I'm in, oh, yeah, oh
Tonight but somebody call my father
Tell him, tell him the shape that I'm in, oh yeah

And while you talk to him
Tell him to pray for me
And tell him to forgive me for my sins, yeah
Forgive me for all my sins

Tell him that
Early one morning
To look for, look for my close home, oh, yeah
Tell him that early one morning
Look for, look for my close home, yeah

You tell him just in case he don't see my body
All he can do, all he can do is stand there and moan
And I believe he can do, yes he can, yeah, yes he can, yeah

Hmm, yeah, hmm, yeah, hmm, yeah, hmm, yeah, oh
Early one morning
I'm coming on home
And I believe I'll make it there, yes I do, yes I do
I tell you, I tell you that
Early one morning, I'm going on home
And I believe to my soul yeah, I'm gonna make it there, yes I do

Oh, but just in case, he don't see my body
Let me him know his child has gone out of this world
Some way
Right now I'm going down, oh, oh
I'm going down real slow
