I have had my fun 

If I don't get well no more 

Yes, I had my fun 

If I don't get well, no more 

Get well, no more 

Yes, my health is failing me 

And I'm going down slow 

Please write my mother 

Tell her the shape I'm in 

Ple-eee-ase write my mother 

Lord, Lord, Lord 

Tell her the shape I'm in 

Tell her to pray for me 

Forgive me of all my sin 

On the next train south 

Look for my clothes, home 

On the next train south 

Look for my clothes, home 

(Oh yeah!) 

If you don't see my body 

All you can do is moan 

(guitar & instrumental) 

'Lord have mercy' 

Mother, please don't worry 

This is all in my prayers 

Yes, mother please don't worry 

This is all in my prayer 

You do say you got a son 

Out in the world, somewhere.
