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

Because this life I live
Has got me sick through and through

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

Shades of Robert Crumb in the album cover!
Saw Savoy Brown as the opening act to somebody in the 70’s!! Great times!!!

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.
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.
