Goin' Down - Allen Toussaint

Don’t get in too deep, brother

Don’t get in too heavy

Don’t get so you can’t move about

Don’t get in too deep, brother

Don’t get in too heavy

Don’t get so you can’t move about

Whenever you get ready

Born free, John see

But he sees just a little too late

Losing his freedom and losing his soul

Now all he can do is just wait for the others

Going down slowly Slowly going down

Holy moses slowly going down

Don’t you get in too deep, sister

Don’t get in too heavy

Don’t you fix it so you can’t move about

Whenever you get ready

Born free, Mary see

But you see just a little too late

Had her history rectified

Now, all she can do is just wait for it to happen

Going down slowly Slowly going down

Holy moses slowly going down

Don’t get in too deep, brother

Don’t get in too heavy

Don’t get so you can’t move about

Whenever you get ready

Born free, John see

But he sees just a little too late

Losing his freedom and losing his soul

Now, all he can do is just wait for it to happen

Going down slowly Slowly going down

Holy moses slowly going down

Going down slowly Slowly going down

Holy moses slowly going down

Going down slowly Slowly going down

Holy moses slowly going down

Going down slowly Slowly going down

Holy moses slowly going down
