《Mama Tried (Live at the Hilton Hotel， Las Vegas 1999)》歌词

[00:03:02] Mama Tried - Merle Haggard

[00:03:02] The first thing I remember knowing

[00:03:02] Was a lonesome whistle blowing

[00:03:02] And a young un's dream of growing up to ride;

[00:03:02] On a freight train leaving town

[00:03:02] Not knowing where I'm bound

[00:03:02] No-one could change my mind but Mama tried

[00:03:02] One and only rebel child

[00:03:02] From a family meek and mild:

[00:03:02] My Mama seemed to know what lay in store

[00:03:02] Despite all my Sunday learning

[00:03:02] Towards the bad I kept on turning

[00:03:02] 'Til Mama couldn't hold me anymore

[00:03:02] And I turned twenty-one in prison doing life without parole

[00:03:02] No-one could steer me right but Mama tried Mama tried

[00:03:02] Mama tried to raise me better but her pleading I denied

[00:03:02] That leaves only me to blame 'cos Mama tried

[00:03:02] Dear old Daddy rest his soul

[00:03:02] Left my Mom a heavy load;

[00:03:02] She tried so very hard to fill his shoes

[00:03:02] Working hours without rest

[00:03:02] Wanted me to have the best

[00:03:02] She tried to raise me right but I refused

[00:03:02] And I turned twenty-one in prison doing life without parole

[00:03:02] No-one could steer me right but Mama tried Mama tried

[00:03:02] Mama tried to raise me better but her pleading I denied

[00:03:02] That leaves only me to blame 'cos Mama tried
