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
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 tickets in my hand
Board the train that's eastward bound
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
Quit my job, ain't got no money
Seems I have to leave this town
Seems I have to leave this town
Packed my bags, run to the station
Board the train that's eastward bound
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 tickets in my hand
Board the train that's eastward bound
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
Quit my job, ain't got no money
Seems I have to leave this town

dang. I forgot how this song rocks. Will put Savoy on my play shuffle and see what else he can do......
Wow, I opportuned the first comment. Another band that defined a niche in rock for the decade, along with Mountain, John Kongos, Jo Jo Gunn, Humble Pie and Blue Cheer.
Great choices, thanks Bill.

Jo Jo Gunn. Wow. That's a band from the depths of my fading memory from back in the day when my JJG 8 track bunked with this very Savoy Brown 8 track in the glove box of my straight six '68 dark green Dodge Dart with a WSHE license plate on the front bumper. Life sure seems to fly these days.
