Mama Tried (妈妈的努力) - Merle Haggard (梅尔·哈格德)[00:00:00]

The first thing I remember knowing [00:00:12]

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

And a young un's dream of growing up to ride;[00:00:17]

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

Not knowing where I'm bound [00:00:24]

No-one could change my mind but 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 all my Sunday learning [00:00:40]

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

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

And I turned twenty-one in prison doing life without parole [00:00:49]

No-one could steer me right but 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 'cos Mama tried [00:01:04]

Dear old Daddy rest his soul [00:01:37]

Left my Mom a heavy load;[00:01:39]

She tried so very hard to fill his shoes [00:01:42]

Working hours without rest [00:01:46]

Wanted me to have the best [00:01:48]

She tried to raise me right but I refused [00:01:51]

And I turned twenty-one in prison doing life without parole [00:01:55]

No-one could steer me right but Mama tried Mama tried [00:02:00]

Mama tried to raise me better but her pleading I denied [00:02:05]

That leaves only me to blame 'cos Mama tried[00:02:10]
