Mama Tried - The Everly Brothers[00:00:00]
The first thing I remember knowin' was a lonesome whistle blowin'[00:00:09]
And a young'uns dream of growin' up to ride[00:00:14]
On a freight train leavin' town not knowin' where I'm bound[00:00:18]
And no one could change my mind but Mama tried[00:00:23]
One and only rebel child from a family meek and mild[00:00:28]
My Mama seemed to know what lay in store[00:00:33]
Spite of all my Sunday learnin' toward the bad I kept on turnin'[00:00:37]
Till Mama couldn't hold me anymore[00:00:42]
I turned twenty-one in prison doin' life without parole[00:00:46]
No one could steer me right but Mama tried Mama tried[00:00:52]
Mama tried to raise me better but her pleading I denied[00:00:56]
That leaves only me to blame 'cause Mama tried[00:01:01]
Dear old Daddy rest his soul left my Ma a heavy load[00:01:16]
She tried so very hard to fill his shoes[00:01:20]
Workin' hours without rest wanted me to have the best[00:01:25]
She tried to raise me right but I refused[00:01:30]
I turned twenty-one in prison doin' life without parole[00:01:34]
No one could steer me right but Mama tried Mama tried[00:01:39]
Mama tried to raise me better but her pleading I denied[00:01:44]
That leaves only me to blame 'cause Mama tried[00:01:48]
