Mama Tried(Remastered 2001)

The first thing I remember knowing

  • The first thing I remember knowing
  • Was a lonesome whistle blowing
  • And a young un's 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
