《Mama Tried》歌词

[00:00:00] Mama Tried (妈妈的努力) - Dave Rich

[00:00:07] The first thing I remember knowing

[00:00:10] Was a lonesome whistle blowing

[00:00:13] And a young un's dream of growing up to ride

[00:00:18] On a freight train leaving town

[00:00:20] Not knowing where I'm bound

[00:00:23] No-one could change my mind but Mama tried

[00:00:28] One and only rebel child

[00:00:31] From a family meek and mild

[00:00:33] My Mama seemed to know what lay in store

[00:00:39] Despite all my Sunday learning

[00:00:41] Towards the bad I kept on turning

[00:00:44] 'Til Mama couldn't hold me anymore

[00:00:49] And I turned twenty-one in prison doing life without parole

[00:00:55] No-one could steer me right but Mama tried Mama tried

[00:00:59] Mama tried to raise me better but her pleading I denied

[00:01:05] That leaves only me to blame 'cos Mama tried

[00:01:18] Dear old Daddy rest his soul

[00:01:21] Left my Mom a heavy load

[00:01:23] She tried so very hard to fill his shoes

[00:01:29] Working hours without rest

[00:01:31] Wanted me to have the best

[00:01:34] She tried to raise me right but I refused

[00:01:39] And I turned twenty-one in prison doing life without parole

[00:01:44] No-one could steer me right but Mama tried Mama tried

[00:01:49] Mama tried to raise me better but her pleading I denied

[00:01:54] That leaves only me to blame 'cos Mama tried

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