I have had my fun

If I don't get well no more

Yes, I had my fun

If I don't get well, no more

Get well, no more

Yes, my health is failing me

And I'm going down slow

Please write my mother

Tell her the shape I'm in

Ple-eee-ase write my mother

Lord, Lord, Lord

Tell her the shape I'm in

Tell her to pray for me

Forgive me of all my sin

On the next train south

Look for my clothes, home

On the next train south

Look for my clothes, home

(Oh yeah!)

If you don't see my body

All you can do is moan

(guitar & instrumental)

'Lord have mercy'

Mother, please don't worry

This is all in my prayers

Yes, mother please don't worry

This is all in my prayer

You do say you got a son

Out in the world, somewhere.
