going down slow

The Animals

Yes, Iââ?¬â?¢m goinââ?¬â?¢ down slow
Iââ?¬â?¢ve had my fun. If I donââ?¬â?¢t make it well no more
Iââ?¬â?¢ve had my fun, but donââ?¬â?¢t get well no more
You see my health is failing me
And Iââ?¬â?¢m goinââ?¬â?¢ down slow

Somebody write my mother and tell her the shape Iââ?¬â?¢m in
Some friend of mine please write my mother and tell her the shape Iââ?¬â?¢m in
Tell her to pray for me
Forgive me of all my sin

Itââ?¬â?¢s my own fault, baby. I shouldnââ?¬â?¢t have done the things I did
Itââ?¬â?¢s my own fault, now. I shouldnââ?¬â?¢t have done the things I did
Drinking all that bad stuff
Affected the brain inside my head
And Iââ?¬â?¢m going down slow. Yes I am.

If my baby. If my baby would only take me back again
If my baby would only take me back once again
You know I wouldnââ?¬â?¢t feel so bad
I could start life all over again

Mother please donââ?¬â?¢t worry. This is all in my prayers
Mother please donââ?¬â?¢t worry. This is all in my prayers
You can say you got a son out in the world somewhere
I gotta tell ya

On the next train south, look for my clothes on
On the next train south, look for my clothes on
Well, if you donââ?¬â?¢t see my body
All you can do is weep and moan.
