've had my fun if I don't ever get well no more I've had my fun if I don't ever get well no more I know my health is failing me now I know I'm goin' down slow
Won't somebody write my mother and tell her the shape I'm in I want somebody to writet my mother and tell her the shape I'm in I want you tell her to pray for me Ask her to forgive me for all my sins
Mother please don't send me no doctor A doctor can't do me no good I don't want you to send me no doctor now A doctor just can't do me no good Back when I was a young boy oh I just didn't do the things I should.
