Well I done had my fun, if I don't get well no more
Yes I done had my fun, had my fun, if I don't get well no more
Well I been livin', lovin' and lyin', and now I'm goin' down slow
Please write my mother, tell her the shape I'm in
Please write my mother, tell her the shape I'm in
Tell her not to worry, just forgive me for my sin
(forgive me, forgive me, forgive me)
On the next train South, look for my clothes on
On the next train South people, look for my clothes on
And if you do not see my body, please don't weep and moan
Don't cry mother, oh this is my prayer
Don't cry mother, mother, oh this is my prayer
Just say your daughter is in another world somewhere
