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 thats 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, 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



(chorus)



Quit my job, aint got no money

Seems I have to leave this town



(chorus)
