《Mama Tried (Spoken Word)》歌词

[00:00:17] Mama Tried - Troy Cassar-Daley

[00:00:17] First thing I remember knowin' was a lonesome whistle blowin'

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

[00:00:17] On a freight train leavin' town not knowin' where I'm bound

[00:00:17] And no one could change my mind but Mama tried

[00:00:17] One and only rebel child from a family meek and mild

[00:00:17] My Mama seemed to know what lay in store

[00:00:17] Spite of all my Sunday learnin' toward the bad I kept on turnin'

[00:00:17] Till Mama couldn't hold me anymore

[00:00:17] I turned twenty-one in prison doin' life without parole

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

[00:00:17] Mama tried to raise me better but her pleading I denied

[00:00:17] That leaves only me to blame 'cause Mama tried

[00:00:17] Dear old Daddy rest his soul left my Mama a heavy load

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

[00:00:17] Workin' hours without rest wanted me to have the best

[00:00:17] She tried to raise me right but I refused

[00:00:17] I turned twenty-one in prison doin' life without parole

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

[00:00:17] Mama tried to raise me better but her pleading I denied

[00:00:17] That leaves only me to blame 'cause Mama tried

[00:00:17] That leaves only me to blame 'cause Mama tried
