《Mama Tried》歌词

[00:00:00] Mama Tried (妈妈的努力) - Leon Copeland

[00:00:11] First thing I remember knowin' was a lonesome whistle blowin'

[00:00:16] And a young'uns dream of growin' up to ride

[00:00:20] On a freight train leavin' town, not knowin' where I'm bound

[00:00:25] And no one could change my mind, but Mama tried

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

[00:00:34] My Mama seemed to know what lay in store

[00:00:38] Spite of all my Sunday learnin', toward the bad I kept on turnin'

[00:00:43] Till Mama couldn't hold me anymore

[00:00:47] I turned twenty-one in prison doin' life without parole

[00:00:52] No one could steer me right, but Mama tried, Mama tried

[00:00:56] Mama tried to raise me better, but her pleading I denied

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

[00:01:14] Dear old Daddy rest his soul left my Mama a heavy load

[00:01:19] She tried so very hard to fill his shoes

[00:01:23] Workin' hours without rest, wanted me to have the best

[00:01:28] She tried to raise me right but I refused

[00:01:32] I turned twenty-one in prison doin' life without parole

[00:01:37] No one could steer me right, but Mama tried, Mama tried

[00:01:41] Mama tried to raise me better, but her pleading I denied

[00:01:45] That leaves only me to blame 'cause Mama tried
