Tell Mama

(Simmonds/Raymond-Chrysalis Music Ltd.)

I quit my job, ain't got no money

Seems I have to leave this town

Packed my bag, run to the station

Board the train 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

Seems no use in hanging round

I can't stop now, the ticket's in my hand

Board the train eastward bound (chorus)

I quit my job, ain't got no money

Seems I have to leave this town (chorus)
