《Mama Tried》歌词

[00:00:01] Mama Tried - The Everly Brothers

[00:00:14] The first thing I remember knowin'

[00:00:17] Was a lonesome whistle blowin'

[00:00:19] And a younger's dream

[00:00:20] Of growing up to ride

[00:00:23] On a freight train leavin' town

[00:00:26] Not knowin' where I'm bound

[00:00:28] And no one could change

[00:00:30] My mind but Mama tried

[00:00:33] One and only rebel child

[00:00:35] From a family meek and mild

[00:00:37] My Mama seemed to know what lay in store

[00:00:42] In spite all my Sunday learnin'

[00:00:44] Towards the bad I kept a turnin'

[00:00:47] Till Mama couldn't hold me anymore

[00:00:51] And I turned twenty-one in prison

[00:00:54] Doing life without parole

[00:00:56] No one could steer me right but Mama tried

[00:01:00] Mama tried

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

[00:01:03] But her pleading I denied

[00:01:05] That leaves only me to blame

[00:01:07] 'Cause Mama tried

[00:01:10] Dear old Daddy rest his soul

[00:01:12] Left my mom a heavy load

[00:01:14] She tried so very hard to fill his shoes

[00:01:18] Working hours without rest

[00:01:21] Wanted me to have the best

[00:01:23] She tried to raise me right but I refused

[00:01:27] And I turned twenty-one in prison

[00:01:30] Doing life without parole

[00:01:32] No one could steer me right but Mama tried

[00:01:36] Mama tried

[00:01:37] Mama tried to raise me better

[00:01:39] But her pleading I denied

[00:01:41] That leaves only me to blame 'cause Mama tried

[00:01:45] That leaves only me to blame 'cause Mama tried

[00:01:50] That leaves only me to blame 'cause Mama tried
