《Mama Tried》歌词

[00:00:00] Mama Tried (妈妈的努力) - Hit Co. Masters

[00:00:11] The first thing I remember knowing

[00:00:14] Was a lonesome whistle blowing

[00:00:16] And a young gun's dream of growing up to ride

[00:00:21] On a freight train leaving town,

[00:00:23] Not knowing where I'm bound

[00:00:25] No one could change my mind but Mama tried

[00:00:30] One and only rebel child from the family,

[00:00:33] Meek and mild

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

[00:00:39] Despite all my Sunday learning towards the bad,

[00:00:43] I kept on turning

[00:00:44] 'Til mama couldn't hold me anymore

[00:00:49] And I turned twenty-one in prison

[00:00:51] Doing life without parole

[00:00:53] No one could steer me right but mama tried,

[00:00:57] Mama tried

[00:00:58] Mama tried to raise me better

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

[00:01:02] That leaves only me to blame

[00:01:04] 'Cause mama tried

[00:01:17] Dear old daddy, rest his soul,

[00:01:19] Left my Mom a heavy load

[00:01:21] She tried so very hard to fill his shoes

[00:01:26] Working hours without rest,

[00:01:28] Wanted me to have the best

[00:01:30] She tried to raise me right but I refused

[00:01:35] And I turned twenty-one in prison

[00:01:37] Doing life without parole

[00:01:40] No one could steer me right

[00:01:42] But mama tried, mama tried

[00:01:44] Mama tried to raise me better

[00:01:46] But her pleading, I denied

[00:01:49] That leaves only me to blame

[00:01:51] 'Cause mama tried
