[Verse 1]
I have had my fun, if I don't get well no more
I want to tell you I've had big fun, if I don't get well no more
You see, my health is failing
And I'm going down slow, yes I am
[Verse 2]
Now what I want you to do for me is
Somebody write my father, tell him the shape that I'm in, oh yeah
Oh only tonight would somebody call my father
Tell him, tell him the shape that I'm in, oh yeah
And while you're talking to him
Tell him to pray for me, and tell him to forgive me, forgive me for all my sins, forgive me for my sins
[Verse 3]
Tell him that early one morning
Look for my, look for my clothes home
Tell him early one morning
Look for, to look for my clothes home, yeah
And tell him just in case, he don't see my body
All he can do, all he can do is stand there and moan
And I believe he can do it, yes he can, yeah, yes he can, yeah
[Verse 4]
Early one morning, I'm comin' on home, and I believe I'll make it there, yes I do, yes I do
I tell ya, I tell ya that early one morning, I'm goin' on home, and I believe to my soul, yeah, I'm gon' make it there, yes I do
Awww, but just in case, he don't see my body, let him know his child has gone out of this world somewhere
Right now I'm going down, oh oh, I'm going down real slow
