《Mama Tried》歌词

[00:00:00] Mama Tried (妈妈的努力) - US Navy Band Country Current/MUC Patrick J. White/MU1 Jeremy K. Middleton

[00:00:12] First thing I remember knowin'

[00:00:14] Was a lonesome whistle blowin'

[00:00:17] And a young one's dream of growin' up to ride

[00:00:21] On a freight train leavin' town

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

[00:00:26] No one could steer me right

[00:00:28] But mama tried

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

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

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

[00:00:40] In spite of all my sunday learnin'

[00:00:43] Toward the bad I kept on turnin'

[00:00:45] Till mama couldn't hold me anymore

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

[00:00:52] Doin' 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] And that leaves only me to blame

[00:01:06] 'Cause mama tried

[00:01:19] Dear old daddy rest his soul

[00:01:21] Left my mom a heavy load

[00:01:24] She tried so very hard to fill his shoes

[00:01:28] Working hours without rest

[00:01:31] Wanted me to have the best

[00:01:33] She tried so very hard but I refused

[00:01:38] And I turned twenty-one in prison doing life without parole

[00:01:43] No-one could steer me right but mama tried mama tried

[00:01:47] Mama tried to raise me better but her pleading I denied

[00:01:52] That leaves only me to blame 'cos mama tried

[00:02:35] And I turned twenty-one in prison doing life without parole

[00:02:40] No-one could steer me right but mama tried mama tried

[00:02:45] Mama tried to raise me better but her pleading I denied

[00:02:50] That leaves only me to blame 'cos mama tried

[00:02:55] That leaves only me to blame 'cos mama tried
