《Mama Tried》歌词

[00:00:00] Mama Tried - Old 97's

[00:00:06] The first thing I remember knowin'

[00:00:09] Was a lonesome whistle blowin'

[00:00:12] And a young'uns dream of growin' up to ride

[00:00:17] On a freight train leavin' town not knowin' where I'm bound

[00:00:23] And no one could change my mind but Mama tried

[00:00:29] One and only rebel child from a family meek and mild

[00:00:35] My Mama seemed to know what lay in store

[00:00:40] Spite of all my Sunday learnin' toward the bad I kept on turnin'

[00:00:46] Till Mama couldn't hold me anymore

[00:00:51] I turned twenty-one in prison doin' life without parole

[00:00:58] No one could steer me right but Mama tried Mama tried

[00:01:03] Mama tried to raise me better but her pleading I denied

[00:01:09] That leaves only me to blame 'cause Mama tried

[00:01:38] Dear old Daddy rest his soul left my Ma a heavy load

[00:01:44] She tried so very hard to fill his shoes

[00:01:49] Workin' hours without rest wanted me to have the best

[00:01:55] She tried to raise me right but I refused

[00:02:01] I turned twenty-one in prison doin' life without parole

[00:02:07] No one could steer me right but Mama tried Mama tried

[00:02:12] Mama tried to raise me better but her pleading I denied

[00:02:18] That leaves only me to blame 'cause Mama tried
