Tell Mama Lyrics By Savoy Brown

    quit my job ain’t got no money
    seems i have to leave this town
    packed my bags run to the station
    board the train thats 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 live
    has got me sick through and through

    nothing to do thats why i had to go
    seemed no use in hanging round
    i can’t stop now the tickets in my hand
    board the train thats 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 live
    has got me sick through and through

    quit my job ain’t got no money
    seems i have to leave this town
