Going Down Slow - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

I have had my fun

If I don't get well, no more

I have had my fun

If I don’t get well, no more

You know my health is now fadin'

And I'm goin’ down slow

Yeah, please write my mother

And tell her the shape I'm in

Please write my mother

Tell her the shape I'm in

Tell her to pray for me

Forgive me for all my sins

Tell her to don't send me no doctor

The doctor can do me no good

Tell her to don't send me no doctor

'Cause he can do me no good

Tell her it's all my fault

I didn't do the things I should

On that next train south

Look for me to come home

On that next train south

Look for me to come home

Well, if you don’t see my body

All you can do is moan

I have had my fun

If I don’t get well, no more

I have had my fun

If I don't get well, no more

You know my health is now fading

And I’m goin' down slow
