Verse 1

 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 that's eastward bound. 1:04

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 lead,

 has got me sick through and through. 1:33

Verse 2

Nothing to do, that's why I have to go,

 Seems no use in hangin' round.

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

  ]

Board the train that's eastward bound. 2:04

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 lead,

 has got me sick through and through. 2:33
