《Mama Tried》歌词

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

[00:00:08] Was that lonesome whistle blowing

[00:00:10] And a youngin's dream

[00:00:11] Of growing up to ride

[00:00:15] On a freight train leaving town

[00:00:17] Not knowing where I was bound

[00:00:19] No one could steer me right

[00:00:21] But mama tried

[00:00:24] Was the only rebel child

[00:00:26] From a family meek and mild

[00:00:28] Mama seemed to know

[00:00:30] What lay in store

[00:00:33] In spite of all my

[00:00:34] Sunday learning

[00:00:35] For the bad I kept on turning

[00:00:37] And mama couldn't hold me anymore

[00:00:41] And I turned twenty-one in prison

[00:00:44] Doing life without parole

[00:00:47] No one could steer me right

[00:00:48] But mama tried mama tried

[00:00:51] Mama tried to raise me better

[00:00:53] But her pleading I denied

[00:00:55] That leaves no one but me to blame

[00:00:58] Cause mama tried

[00:01:05] Dear old daddy rest his soul

[00:01:07] Left my mom a heavy load

[00:01:10] She tried so very hard

[00:01:11] To fill his shoes

[00:01:14] Working hours without rest

[00:01:16] Wanted me to have the best

[00:01:19] Oh she tried to raise me right

[00:01:20] But I refused

[00:01:23] And I turned twenty-one in prison

[00:01:25] Doing life without parole

[00:01:28] No one could steer me right

[00:01:30] But mama tried mama tried

[00:01:32] Mama tried to raise me better

[00:01:34] But her pleading I denied

[00:01:37] That leaves no one but me to blame

[00:01:39] Cause mama tried

[00:02:17] And I turned twenty-one in prison

[00:02:20] Doing life without parole

[00:02:23] No one could steer me right

[00:02:24] But mama tried mama tried

[00:02:27] Mama tried to raise me better

[00:02:29] But her pleading I denied

[00:02:32] That leaves no one but me to blame

[00:02:36] That leaves no one but me to blame

[00:02:38] Cause mama tried
