Verse 1
I quit my j[A]ob, ain't got no money,
Seems I have to [D]leave this town,[A]
Packed my bag, run to the station,
Board the train that's [D]eastward bound.[A] [)] 1:04
Chorus
Tell M[D]ama, and all the folks back [A]home,
Sometimes a [E]man just feels,
He's got to make it al[A]one.
Tell [D]Mama, why I'm leaving so [A]soon,
Because this [E]life I lead,
has got me sick through and t[A]hrough. 1:33
Verse 2
Nothing to do, that's why I have to go,
Seems no use in [D]hangin' round[A].
I can't stop now, the ticket's in my hand,
Board the train that's [D]eastward bound.[A] [)] 2:04
Chorus
Tell M[D]ama, and all the folks back [A]home,
Sometimes a [E]man just feels,

Tell [D]Mama, why I'm leaving so [A]soon,
Because this l[E]ife I lead,
has got me sick through and t[A]hrough. 2:33
