Goin' Down Slow

Текст песни Bobby Bland - Goin' Down Slow

Ah, yes
When I'm alone, I cry it all
Take your time, darling
Yeah?

Said I've had my fun
If I don't get well, no more
Said I've had my fun, people
If I never get well, no more
Said my, my, my, my, my health is failing me
Hah, and I think I'm going down slow

Somebody please write my mother, yeah
And tell her the shape I'm in
Ah! Somebody please write my mother
And tell her the shape I'm in
And tell her to pray
Ah! Tell her to pray for me, huh
And to forgive me for all of my sins

Don't send no doctor, mother
You see, the doctor can't do, oh, me, no good (no, no, no)
Please, don't send no doctor, mother (please don't send no doctor)
You see, the doctor can't do me no good
Hey, I've been a simple man (oh, yeah)
And I didn't do the things I should (I know, say it again)

So, on the next train south (so, on the first train south)
You can look for my clothes on
All the way back to Memphis (all the way to Rosemont)
Hey, oh!
On the next train south, love (the first one, the very first one)
(You can) look for my clothes back home
I hope you don't see this old body, mother (oh)
All you can do is mourn
And I like it, I really appreciate you can do it
Look out there, look out now

My things, you can have it (eh, yeah)
My things, you can have it
My heart, my love (say that again)
My things, you can have it
Havoc, well, I know

Oh! (Mr. B.B. King, ladies and gentlemen)
