Goin’ Down Slow Lyrics By Bobby Blue Bland

    i’ve had my fun
    if i don’t get well no more
    i said i’ve had my fun
    if i never get well no more

    said my head is
    feeling kind of funny
    lord and i’m going down slow

    somebody please write my mother
    tell her the shape i’m in lord
    somebody please write my mother
    tell her the shape i’m in

    tell her to pray for me
    and to forgive me
    for all of my sins

    i’m on the next train south
    you can look for my clothes home
    i’m on next train south
    tell em you can look
    for my clothes home

    said if you don’t see my body
    all you can do is moan

    if you see my father
    tell him not to waste no tears
    lord if you see my father
    tell him not to waste no tears

    cause i’ve been living
    so fast and reckless
    lord it shortened my years

    said i’ve had my fun y’all
    if i if i don’t get well no more
    said i’ve had my fun
    if i never get well no more

    said my my my
    health is failing me
    said i’m going down down slow

    leaving on the next train
    going down slow
    said i’m leaving on the next train
    going down slow
    going down going down slow

    leaving on the next train
    going down slow
    said i’m leaving on the next train
    going down slow
    going down going down slow
