Savoy Brown – Tell Mama lyrics
(Simmonds/Raymond-Chrysalis Music Ltd.)
Quit my job, aint got no money
Seems I have to leave this town
Packed my bags, run to the station
Board the train that's eastward bound
[Chorus:]
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, that's why I had to go
Seemed no use in hanging round
I can't stop now, the tickets in my hand
Board the train that's eastward bound
[Chorus:]
Quit my job, aint got no money
Seems I have to leave this town
[Chorus:]
Quit my job, aint got no money
Seems I have to leave this town
Packed my bags, run to the station
Board the train that's eastward bound
[Chorus:]
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, that's why I had to go
Seemed no use in hanging round
I can't stop now, the tickets in my hand
Board the train that's eastward bound
[Chorus:]
Quit my job, aint got no money
Seems I have to leave this town
[Chorus:]
