《Mama Tried(Album Version)》歌词

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

[00:00:09] The first thing I remember knowin' was a lonesome whistle blowin'

[00:00:14] And a young'uns dream of growin' up to ride

[00:00:18] On a freight train leavin' town not knowin' where I'm bound

[00:00:23] And no one could change my mind but Mama tried

[00:00:28] One and only rebel child from a family meek and mild

[00:00:33] My Mama seemed to know what lay in store

[00:00:37] Spite of all my Sunday learnin' toward the bad I kept on turnin'

[00:00:42] Till Mama couldn't hold me anymore

[00:00:46] I turned twenty-one in prison doin' life without parole

[00:00:52] No one could steer me right but Mama tried Mama tried

[00:00:56] Mama tried to raise me better but her pleading I denied

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

[00:01:16] Dear old Daddy rest his soul left my Ma a heavy load

[00:01:20] She tried so very hard to fill his shoes

[00:01:25] Workin' hours without rest wanted me to have the best

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

[00:01:34] I turned twenty-one in prison doin' life without parole

[00:01:39] No one could steer me right but Mama tried Mama tried

[00:01:44] Mama tried to raise me better but her pleading I denied

[00:01:48] That leaves only me to blame 'cause Mama tried
