--- Start Of Mama Tried Lyrics ---
The first thing I remember knowing ... was a lonesome whistle blowing
And a young uns dream of growing up to ride
On a freight train leaving town ... not knowing where I'm bound
No one could change my mind but Mama tried
One and only rebel child ... from a family meek and mild
My Mama seemed to know what lay in store
Despite all my Sunday learning ... towards the bad I kept on turning
'Til Mama couldn't hold me anymore
And I turned twenty one in prison doing life without parole
No one could steer me right but Mama tried ... mama tried
Mama tried to raise me better ... but her pleading I denied
That leaves only me to blame 'cos Mama tried
Dear old Daddy rest his soul ... Left my Mom a heavy load
She tried so very hard to fill his shoes
Working hours without rest ... wanted me to have the best
She tried to raise me right but I refused
And I turned twenty one in prison doing life without parole
No one could steer me right but Mama tried ... mama tried
Mama tried to raise me better ... but her pleading I denied
That leaves only me to blame 'cos Mama tried
That leaves only me to blame 'cos Mama tried
