《Mama Tried》歌词

[00:00:00] Mama Tried (妈妈的努力) - Studio Musicians (工作室音乐家)

[00:00:13] The first thing I remember knowing

[00:00:15] Was a lonesome whistle blowing

[00:00:17] And a young un's dream of growing up to ride;

[00:00:22] On a freight train leaving town

[00:00:24] Not knowing where I'm bound

[00:00:27] No-one could change my mind but Mama tried

[00:00:31] One and only rebel child

[00:00:34] From a family meek and mild:

[00:00:36] My Mama seemed to know what lay in store

[00:00:40] Despite all my Sunday learning

[00:00:43] Towards the bad I kept on turning

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

[00:00:50] And I turned twenty-one

[00:00:51] In prison doing life without parole

[00:00:55] No-one could steer me right

[00:00:57] But Mama tried Mama tried

[00:00:59] Mama tried to raise me better

[00:01:02] But her pleading I denied

[00:01:04] That leaves only me to blame 'cos Mama tried

[00:01:18] Dear old Daddy rest his soul

[00:01:20] Left my Mom a heavy load;

[00:01:22] She tried so very hard to fill his shoes

[00:01:27] Working hours without rest

[00:01:29] Wanted me to have the best

[00:01:32] She tried to raise me right but I refused

[00:01:36] And I turned twenty-one

[00:01:37] In prison doing life without parole

[00:01:41] No-one could steer me right

[00:01:43] But Mama tried Mama tried

[00:01:45] Mama tried to raise me better

[00:01:48] But her pleading I denied

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