《Mama Tried》歌词

[00:00:00] Mama Tried - Merle Haggard (梅尔·哈格德)

[00:00:03] First thing I remember knowin' was a lonesome whistle blowin'

[00:00:08] And a young'uns dream of growin' up to ride

[00:00:13] On a freight train leavin' town not knowin' where I'm bound

[00:00:18] No one change my mind but Mama tried

[00:00:23] One and only rebel child from a family meek and mild

[00:00:27] My Mama seemed to know what lay in store

[00:00:32] Spite of all my Sunday learnin' toward the bad I kept on turnin'

[00:00:37] Till Mama couldn't hold me anymore

[00:00:41] I turned twenty-one in prison doin' life without parole

[00:00:46] No one could steer me right but Mama tried Mama tried

[00:00:51] Mama tried to raise me better but her pleading I denied

[00:00:56] That leaves only me to blame 'cause Mama tried

[00:01:22] Dear old Daddy rest his soul left my Mama a heavy load

[00:01:27] She tried so very hard to fill his shoes

[00:01:32] Workin' hours without rest wanted me to have the best

[00:01:37] She tried to raise me right but I refused

[00:01:41] I turned twenty-one in prison doin' life without parole

[00:01:46] No one could steer me right but Mama tried Mama tried

[00:01:51] Mama tried to raise me better but her pleading I denied

[00:01:56] That leaves only me to blame 'cause Mama tried
