Going Down Slow

I've had my fun
No, I ain't gonna get well no more
I've had my fun
No, I ain't gonna get well no more
No, my health is fadin'
And I'm goin' down slow

Want you to write my lover
And tell her the shape I'm in
Please, write my lover
Tell her the shape I'm in
I want her to pray for me
Help me forgive these sins

Gonna send for the doctor
But I know he ain't gonna do no good
Gonna send for the doctor
I know he ain't gonna do no good
It's all your fault
You could help me if you would
