Mama Tried - Merle Haggard (梅尔·哈格德)[00:00:00]

Written by：Merle Haggard[00:00:01]

The first thing I remember knowing[00:00:11]

Was a lonesome whistle blowing[00:00:14]

And a young un's dream of growing up to ride[00:00:16]

On a freight train leaving town[00:00:21]

Not knowing where I'm bound[00:00:23]

No one could change my mind Mama tried[00:00:26]

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

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

My Mama seemed to know what lay in store[00:00:35]

Despite my Sunday learning[00:00:40]

Towards the bad I kept turning[00:00:43]

Til Mama couldn't hold me anymore[00:00:45]

And I turned twenty one in prion doing life without parole[00:00:50]

No one could steer me right Mama tried Mama tried[00:00:55]

Mama tried to raise me better but her pleading I denied[00:00:59]

That leaves only me to blame cause Mama tried[00:01:04]

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

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

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

Working hours without rest[00:01:29]

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

She tried to raise me right but I refused[00:01:34]

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

No one could steer me right mama tried Mama tried[00:01:44]

Mama tried to raise me better but her pleading I denied[00:01:48]

That leaves only me to blame cause Mama tried[00:01:53]
