《Mama Tried》歌词

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

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

[00:00:09] And a youngings dream

[00:00:10] Of growing up to ride

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

[00:00:16] Not knowing where I was bound

[00:00:18] No one could steer me right

[00:00:20] But mama tried

[00:00:22] Was the only rebel child

[00:00:24] From a family meek and mild

[00:00:26] Mama seemed to know what lay in store

[00:00:30] In spite of all my sunday learning

[00:00:33] For the bad I kept on turning

[00:00:35] And mama couldn't hold me anymore

[00:00:39] And I turned twenty one in prison

[00:00:41] Doing life without parole

[00:00:43] No one could steer me right

[00:00:45] But mama tried mama tried

[00:00:47] Mama tried to raise me better

[00:00:49] But her pleading I denied

[00:00:52] That leaves no one but me to blame cause mama tried

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

[00:01:03] Left my mom a heavy load

[00:01:05] She tried so very hard

[00:01:06] To fill his shoes

[00:01:09] Working hours without rest

[00:01:11] Wanted me to have the best

[00:01:13] Oh she tried to raise me right but I refused

[00:01:17] And I turned twenty one in prison

[00:01:19] Doing life without parole

[00:01:22] No one could steer me right

[00:01:24] But mama tried mama tried

[00:01:26] Mama tried to raise me better

[00:01:28] But her pleading I denied

[00:01:30] That leaves no one but me to blame

[00:01:33] Cause mama tried oh tried

[00:02:25] And I turned twenty one in prison

[00:02:27] Doing life without parole

[00:02:30] No one could steer me right

[00:02:31] But mama tried mama tried

[00:02:34] Mama tried to raise me better
