Aretha Franklin - Going Down Slow lyrics
[Aretha Franklin - Going Down Slow lyrics]
I have had my fun
If I don't get well no more
I want to tell you I've had big fun
If I don't get well no more
You see, my health is failing
And I'm going down slow, yes I am
Now what I want you to do for me is
Somebody write my father, tell him
The shape that I'm in, oh yeah
Oh only tonight would somebody call my father
Tell him, tell him the shape that I'm in
Oh yeah and while you're talking to him
Tell him to pray for me, and tell him to
Forgive me, forgive me for all my sins
Forgive me for my sins
Tell him that early one morning
Look for my, look for my clothes home
Tell him early one morning
Look for, to look for my clothes home, yeah
And tell him just in case
He don't see my body all he can do
All he can do is stand there and moan
And I believe he can do it, yes
He can, yeah, yes he can, yeah
Early one morning, I'm comin' on home, and I
Believe I'll make it there, yes I do
Yes I do i tell ya, I tell ya that early
One morning, I'm goin' on home
And I believe to my soul, yeah
I'm gon' make it there, yes I do
Awww, but just in case, he don't see my body
Let him know his child has gone
Out of this world somewhere
Right now I'm going down, oh oh
I'm going down real slow
If I don't get well no more
I want to tell you I've had big fun
If I don't get well no more
You see, my health is failing
And I'm going down slow, yes I am
Now what I want you to do for me is
Somebody write my father, tell him
The shape that I'm in, oh yeah
Oh only tonight would somebody call my father
Tell him, tell him the shape that I'm in
Oh yeah and while you're talking to him
Tell him to pray for me, and tell him to
Forgive me, forgive me for all my sins
Forgive me for my sins
Tell him that early one morning
Look for my, look for my clothes home
Tell him early one morning
Look for, to look for my clothes home, yeah
And tell him just in case
He don't see my body all he can do
All he can do is stand there and moan
And I believe he can do it, yes
He can, yeah, yes he can, yeah
Early one morning, I'm comin' on home, and I
Believe I'll make it there, yes I do
Yes I do i tell ya, I tell ya that early
One morning, I'm goin' on home
And I believe to my soul, yeah
I'm gon' make it there, yes I do
Awww, but just in case, he don't see my body
Let him know his child has gone
Out of this world somewhere
Right now I'm going down, oh oh
I'm going down real slow
