[00:00:06] The first thing I remember knowing

[00:00:09] Was a lonesome whistle blowing

[00:00:11] And a young un's dream of growing up to ride

[00:00:16] On a freight train leaving town

[00:00:19] Not knowing where I'm bound

[00:00:21] No-one could change my mind but Mama tried

[00:00:26] One and only rebel child

[00:00:29] From a family meek and mild

[00:00:31] My Mama seemed to know what lay in store

[00:00:36] Despite my Sunday learning

[00:00:38] Towards the bad I kept turning

[00:00:41] 'Til Mama couldn't hold me anymore

[00:00:46] And I turned twenty-one in prison doing life without parole

[00:00:51] No-one could steer me right but Mama tried Mama tried

[00:00:56] Mama tried to raise me better

[00:00:58] But her pleading I denied

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

[00:01:11] Dear old Daddy rest his soul

[00:01:14] Left my Mom a heavy load

[00:01:17] She tried so very hard to fill his shoes

[00:01:21] Working hours without rest

[00:01:24] Wanted me to have the best

[00:01:26] She tried to raise me right but I refused

[00:01:31] I turned twenty-one in prison doing life without parole

[00:01:37] No-one could steer me right but Mama tried Mama tried

[00:01:41] Mama tried to raise me better

[00:01:44] But her pleading I denied

[00:01:46] That leaves only me to blame 'cause Mama tried

[00:02:11] I turned twenty-one in prison doing life without parole

[00:02:17] No-one could steer me right but Mama tried Mama tried

[00:02:22] Mama tried to raise me better

[00:02:24] But her pleading I denied

[00:02:27] That leaves only me to blame 'cause Mama tried

[00:02:32] That leaves only me to blame 'cause Mama tried
