《Mama Tried-9》歌词

[00:00:12] The first thing I remember knowin'

[00:00:14] Was a lonesome whistle blowin'

[00:00:17] And a young'uns dream of growin' up to ride

[00:00:21] On a freight train leavin' town

[00:00:24] Not knowin' where I'm bound

[00:00:26] And no one could change my mind

[00:00:28] But Mama tried

[00:00:30] One and only rebel child from

[00:00:33] A family meek and mild

[00:00:35] My Mama seemed to know what lay in store

[00:00:40] Spite of all my Sunday learnin'

[00:00:42] Toward the bad I kept on turnin'

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

[00:00:49] I turned twenty-one in prison

[00:00:51] Doin' life without parole

[00:00:54] No one could steer me right

[00:00:56] But Mama tried Mama tried

[00:00:58] Mama tried to raise me better

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

[00:01:03] That leaves only me to

[00:01:05] Blame 'cause Mama tried

[00:01:17] Dear old Daddy rest his soul

[00:01:19] Left my Ma a heavy load

[00:01:21] She tried so very hard to fill his shoes

[00:01:26] Workin' hours without rest

[00:01:28] Wanted me to have the best

[00:01:31] She tried to raise me right but I refused

[00:01:35] I turned twenty-one in prison

[00:01:38] Doin' life without parole

[00:01:40] No one could steer me right

[00:01:42] But Mama tried Mama tried

[00:01:44] Mama tried to raise me better

[00:01:47] But her pleading I denied

[00:01:49] That leaves only me to

[00:01:51] Blame 'cause Mama tried
