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 that's eastward bound  (riff..)

      D                            A                          E                                  A

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 ticket’s in my hand, Board the train that's eastward bound

Chorus

Quit my job, ain't got no money,  Seems I have to leave this town

Instrumental.. repeated riff.  C b g f# a, e f# g ,   f# , f e a 

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

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
