letra de mama tried - nitty gritty dirt band

the first thing i remember knowin’ was a lonesome whistle blowin’,
and a youngun’s dream of growin’ up to ride,
on a freight train leavin’ town, not knowin’ where i’m bound.
and no one could change my mind but mama tried.
one and only rebel child from a fam’ly meek and mild
my mama seemed to to know what lay in store,
‘spite all my sunday learnin’ towards the bad i kept on turnin’,
’til mama couldn’t hold me anymore.

and i turned twenty-one in prison doin’ 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

and that leaves only me to blame, cause mama tried

dear ole’ daddy, rest his soul left my mom a heavy load,
she tried so very hard to feel his shoes,
workin’ 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 doin’ 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
and that leaves only me to blame, cause mama tried
