Goin' Down Slow Lyrics - David Honeyboy Edwards

I have had my fun if I never get well no more. 

I have had my fun if I never get well no more. 

All of my health is failing; 

Lord I'm going down slow 

I'm going down slow. 

Please write my mother and tell her the shape I'm in. 

Please write my mother and tell her the shape I'm in. 

Tell her to pray for me 

Forgive me for my sin 

For all of my sin. 

On the next train south look for my clothes back home. 

On the next train south, look for my clothes back home. 

'Cause all of my health is failing 

Lord, I'm going down slow, 

I'm going down slow. 

All of my health is failing 

Lord, I'm going down slow, 

I'm going down slow. 

Feel like I'm going, like I'm going down slow. 

I feel like I'm going, like I'm going down slow. 

I feel like I'm going, like I'm going down slow. 

I feel like I'm going, like I'm going down slow. 

I feel like I'm going, like I'm going down slow
