《Mama Tried》歌词

[00:00:00] Mama Tried (妈妈的努力) - The Astronauts

[00:00:11] First thing I remember knowin' was a lonesome whistle blowin'

[00:00:16] And a young'uns dream of growin' up to ride

[00:00:21] On a freight train leavin' town not knowin' where I'm bound

[00:00:26] And no one could change my mind but Mama tried

[00:00:30] One and only rebel child from a family meek and mild

[00:00:35] My Mama seemed to know what lay in store

[00:00:40] Spite of all my Sunday learnin' the bad I kept on turnin'

[00:00:45] Till Mama couldn't hold me anymore

[00:00:49] And I turned twenty-one in prison doin' life without parole

[00:00:54] No one could steer me right but Mama tried Mama tried

[00:00:58] Mama tried to raise me better but her pleading I denied

[00:01:03] That leaves only me to blame 'cause Mama tried

[00:01:39] Dear old Daddy rest his soul left my Mama a heavy load

[00:01:44] She tried so very hard to fill his shoes

[00:01:48] Workin' hours without rest wanted me to have the best

[00:01:53] She tried to raise me right but I refused

[00:01:58] And I turned twenty-one in prison doin' life without parole

[00:02:03] No one could steer me right but Mama tried Mama tried

[00:02:07] Mama tried to raise me better but her pleading I denied

[00:02:12] That leaves only me to blame 'cause Mama tried
