[Verse 1]
I've had my fun
If I don't get well no more
I've had my fun
If I don't get well no more
My health is failin' on me
Yes, and I'm going down slow

[Verse 2]
I want you to write my mother
And tell her the shape I'm in
Oh, please write my mother
Tell her the shape I'm in
I want you tell her to pray for me, people
Whoa, to forgive for my sins

[Verse 3]
On that next train South
Mother, you can look for my clothes on
On that next train South
Mother, look for my clothes on
Yes, if you don't see this old body
Oh, you can do believe I'm gone

[Verse 4]
Yes, I've had my fun
Mother, this is all in my prayer
Yes, I've had my fun, people
Mother, this is all in my prayer
Yes, if you don't see this old body, mother
You know I'm gone out of this world somewhere
