[00:00:01] Mama Tried (In the Style of Merle Haggard) (Karaoke Version) - ProSource Karaoke (专业卡拉ok)

[00:00:12] The first thing I remember knowing,

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

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

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

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

[00:00:26] No one could change my mind but Mama tried.

[00:00:30] One and only rebel child,

[00:00:33] From a family, meek and mild:

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

[00:00:39] Despite all my Sunday learning,

[00:00:42] Towards the bad, 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.

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

[00:00:57] Mama tried.

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

[00:01:02] I denied.

[00:01:03] That leaves only me to blame cos 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.

[00:01:31] 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 but Mama tried,

[00:01:43] Mama tried.

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

[00:01:48] I denied.

[00:01:49] That leaves only me to blame cos Mama tried.
