《Mama Tried(Live at Oakland Auditorium Arena， December 28， 1979)》歌词

[00:00:00] Mama Tried - Grateful Dead

[00:00:05] The first I remember knowing

[00:00:07] Was that lonesome whistle blowing

[00:00:09] And a youngun's dream of growing up to ride

[00:00:13] On a freight train leaving town

[00:00:15] Not knowing where I was bound

[00:00:17] No one could steer me right but mama tried

[00:00:21] Was the only rebel child

[00:00:23] From a family meek and mild

[00:00:25] Mama seemed to know what lay in store

[00:00:29] In spite of all my Sunday learning

[00:00:31] For the bad I kept on turning

[00:00:34] And mama couldn't hold me anymore

[00:00:38] And I turned 21 in prison

[00:00:40] Doing life without parole

[00:00:42] No one could steer me right but mama tried mama tried

[00:00:46] Mama tried to raise me better

[00:00:48] But her pleading I denied

[00:00:50] That leaves no one but me to blame cause mama tried

[00:00:59] Dear old daddy rest his soul

[00:01:01] Left my mom a heavy load

[00:01:03] She tried so very hard to fill his shoes

[00:01:07] Working hours without rest

[00:01:09] Wanted me to have the best

[00:01:11] Oh she tried to raise me right but I refused

[00:01:15] And I turned 21 in prison

[00:01:17] Doing life without parole

[00:01:20] No one could steer me right but mama tried mama tried

[00:01:24] Mama tried to raise me better

[00:01:26] But her pleading I denied

[00:01:28] That leaves no one but me to blame cause mama tried

[00:02:05] And I turned 21 in prison

[00:02:07] Doing life without parole

[00:02:10] No one could steer me right

[00:02:11] But mama tried mama tried

[00:02:14] Mama tried to raise me better

[00:02:16] But her pleading I denied

[00:02:18] That leaves no one but me

[00:02:19] To blame cause mama tried

[00:02:22] That leaves no one but me to

[00:02:23] Blame cause mama tried
