I've had my fun
If i don't get well no more
I said i've had my fun

If i never get well no more

Said, my head is

Feeling kind of funny
Lord, and i'm going down slow


Somebody please write my mother
Tell her the shape i'm in, lord
Somebody please write my mother

Tell her the shape i'm in

Tell her to pray for me

And to forgive me
For all of my sins


I'm on the next train south
You can look for my clothes home
I'm on next train south

Tell em, you can look
For my clothes home


Said if you don't see my body
All you can do is moan


If you see my father
Tell him not to waste no tears
Lord, if you see my father

Tell him not to waste no tears

Cause i've been living

So fast and reckless
Lord, it shortened my years


Said i've had my fun, y'all
If i, if i don't get well no more
Said i've had my fun

If i never get well no more

Said my, my, my

Health is failing me
Said i'm going down, down slow


(leaving on the next train)
(going down slow)
(said i'm leaving on the next train)

(going down slow)
(going down, going down slow)


(leaving on the next train)
(going down slow)
(said i'm leaving on the next train)

(going down slow)
(going down, going down slow)...
