Goin Down Slow ("St.Louis" Jimmy Oden)
by Duane Allman
I have had my fun,
If I don't ever get well no more.
I have had my fun,
If I don't ever get well no more.
I know my health is failin me now,
And I know that I'm goin down slow.
Won't somebody write my mother,
And tell her the shape I'm in.
I want somebody to write my mother,
And tell her the shape that I'm in.
I want you to tell her to pray for me,
Ask her to forgive me for all my sins.
Mother, please don't send me no doctor,
A doctor can't do me no good.
I don't want you to send me no doctor, now,
A doctor just can't do me no good.
Back when I was young boy, ya'll,
I just didn't do the things that I should.
