Tell Mama


I quit my job
Ain't got no money
Seems I have to leave this town

Pack my bag
Run to the station
Board the train that's eastward bound

Tell Mama
And all the folks back home
Sometimes a man just feels
He's got to make it alone

Tell Mama
Why I'm leaving so soon
Because this life I lead
Has got me sick through and through

Nothing to do
That's why I have to go
Seems no use in hanging round

I can't stop now
The ticket's in my hand
Board the train that's eastward bound

Tell Mama
And all the folks back home
Sometimes a man just feels
He's got to make it alone

Tell Mama
Why I'm leaving so soon
Because this life I lead
Has got me sick through and through

I quit my job
Ain't got no money
Seems I have to leave this town

Tell Mama
And all the folks back home
Sometimes a man just feels
He's got to make it alone

Tell Mama
Why I'm leaving so soon
Because this life I lead
Has got me sick through and through

Tell Mama
And all the folks back home
Sometimes a man just feels
He's got to make it alone

Tell Mama
Why I'm leaving so soon
Because this life I lead
Has got me sick through and through
