Текст песни Going Down Slow - Aretha Franklin

Going Down Slow

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 never get well no more
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 for me tonight
Could somebody call ma father,
Tell him, tell him the shape that I’m in, oh yeah
And while you talking to him
Tell him to pray for me
And tell him to forgive me, forgive me for all my sins
Yeah forgive me for my sins
Tell him I’m heading on my way,
Look for; look for me close home, oh yeah
Tell him early in tha morning to look for, to look for me close home
You tell him just in case he don’t see ma body
Cuz he can do all he can do is stand there long
I believe he can do, yes he can, yeah, yes he can
Yeah, yes he can
Mmmmmmmmm (along with instrumental break)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah oh
Early one morning
I’m coming on home
And I believe I’ll make it there, yes I do, yes I do
And I tell you, I tell you that
Early one morning I’m going on home
And I believe to ma soul yeah I’m gonna make it there, yes I do
But just in case, he don’t see my body
Let me him know his child has gone out of this world
Some way
Right now I’m going down; oh, I’m going down real slow
