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
