Mama Tried (Live At Community War Memorial, Rochester, NY, November 5, 1977) - Grateful Dead[00:00:00]
Written by:MERLE HAGGA[00:00:00]
First thing I remember knowin'[00:00:04]
Was that lonesome whistle blowin'[00:00:06]
And a youngin's dream of growin' up to ride[00:00:09]
On a freight train leavin' town[00:00:13]
Not knowin' where I was bound[00:00:15]
No one could steer me right but mama tried[00:00:17]
With the only rebel child from a family meek and mild[00:00:21]
Mama seemed to know what lay in store[00:00:25]
In spite of all my Sunday learnin'[00:00:29]
For the bad I kept on turnin'[00:00:31]
And mama couldn't hold me anymore[00:00:33]
And I turned 21 in prison[00:00:37]
Doin' life without parole[00:00:39]
No one could steer me right[00:00:41]
But mama tried mama tried[00:00:43]
Mama tried to raise me better[00:00:45]
But her pleadin' I denied[00:00:47]
That leaves no one but me to blame 'cause mama tried[00:00:49]
Dear old daddy rest his soul[00:00:58]
Left my mom a heavy load[00:01:00]
She tried very hard to fill his shoes[00:01:02]
Workin' hours without rest wanted me to have the best[00:01:06]
Oh she tried to raise me right but I refused[00:01:10]
And I turned 21 in prison[00:01:14]
Doin' life without parole[00:01:16]
No one could steer me right[00:01:18]
But mama tried mama tried[00:01:20]
Mama tried to raise me better[00:01:22]
But her pleadin' I denied[00:01:24]
That leaves no one but me to blame 'cause mama tried[00:01:26]
And I turned 21 in prison[00:02:03]
Doin' life without parole[00:02:05]
No one could steer me right[00:02:07]
But mama tried mama tried[00:02:09]
Mama tried to raise me better[00:02:11]
But her pleadin' I denied[00:02:13]
That leaves no one but me to blame[00:02:15]
'Cause mama tried[00:02:17]
That leaves no one but me to blame[00:02:19]
'Cause mama tried[00:02:21]
