《Mama Tried》歌词

[00:00:00] First thing I remember knowin'

[00:00:03] Was a lonesome whistle blowin'

[00:00:05] And a young one's dream of

[00:00:07] Growing up to ride

[00:00:11] On a freight train leaving town

[00:00:14] Not knowing where I'm bound

[00:00:16] No one could steer me right

[00:00:18] But mama tried

[00:00:22] One and only rebel child

[00:00:24] Family meek and mild

[00:00:27] My mama seemed to know

[00:00:29] What lay in store

[00:00:32] Despite of all my Sunday learnin'

[00:00:35] Bad I kept on turnin'

[00:00:38] 'Til mama couldn't hold me anymore

[00:00:43] I turned twenty-one in prison

[00:00:46] Doing life without parole

[00:00:49] No one could steer me right

[00:00:51] But mama tried mama tried

[00:00:54] Mama tried to raise me better

[00:00:57] But her pleading I denied

[00:00:59] That leaves only me to blame

[00:01:01] 'Cause mama tried

[00:01:26] Dear old daddy rest his soul

[00:01:28] Left my mom a heavy load

[00:01:31] She tried so very hard to fill his shoes

[00:01:36] Working hours without rest

[00:01:39] Wanted me to have the best

[00:01:42] She tried to steer me right

[00:01:44] But I refused

[00:01:47] I turned twenty-one in prison

[00:01:50] Doing life without parole

[00:01:53] No one could steer me right

[00:01:55] But mama tried mama tried

[00:01:58] Mama tried to raise me better

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

[00:02:03] That leaves only me to blame

[00:02:05] 'Cause mama tried

[00:02:08] That leaves only me to blame

[00:02:11] 'Cause mama tried

[00:02:14] That leaves only me to blame

[00:02:17] 'Cause mama tried
