I done had my fun
If I don't get well no more
I done had my fun
If I don't get well no more
My health is failing me
Huh, I'm goin' down slow

Would you write my mother
Tell her the shape I'm in
Would you write my mother
Tell her the shape I'm in
Tell her to pray for me
Forgive me for my sin

I don't need no doctor
He can't do me no good
I don't need no doctor
He can't do me no good
You know it's all my fault
I didn't all do the things I should

On the next train rolling south
Look for my clothes
On the next train rolling south
Look for my clothes
You don't see my body
Well all you can do is 'em own
I done had my fun
If I don't get well no more
I done had my fun
If I don't get well no more
My health is failing me
Huh, I'm goin' down slow
