Goin' Down Slow

(album: Tons Of Sobs - 1968)

Yes I've had my fun
If I don't get well no more
Yes I've had my fun, baby
If I don't get well no more
You see I have this pain in me
An I'm going down slow

Won't somebody write my mother
Tell her the shape I'm in
Please write my mother
Tell her to pray for me
Tell her to forgive my sin

Tell her don't send no doctor
Yes a doctor can do me no good
Yes no doctor mama
Doctor can do me no good
But you see through all of my trials
I never did all the things I could

On the next train south
Baby you can look for my...
On the next train south
Mama, you can look for...
Yes now if you see my baby baby
Yes you know I'm dead and gone
