Mama Tried (Live at Barton Hall, Cornell University, Ithaca, NY 5/8/77) - Grateful Dead[00:00:00]
Written by:Merle Haggard[00:00:03]
The first I remember knowin'[00:00:05]
Was that lonesome whistle blowin'[00:00:07]
And a youngin's dream[00:00:09]
Of growin' up to ride[00:00:10]
On a freight train leavin' town[00:00:13]
Not knowin' where I was bound[00:00:15]
No one could steer me right[00:00:18]
But mama tried[00:00:19]
Was the only rebel child[00:00:22]
From a family meek and mild[00:00:24]
Mama seemed to know[00:00:26]
What lay in store[00:00:28]
In spite of all my[00:00:30]
Sunday learnin'[00:00:31]
For the bad I kept on turnin'[00:00:32]
And mama couldn't hold me anymore[00:00:34]
And I turned 21 in prison[00:00:39]
Doin' life without parole[00:00:41]
No one could steer me right[00:00:43]
But mama tried mama tried[00:00:45]
Mama tried to raise me better[00:00:48]
But her pleadin' I denied[00:00:50]
That leaves no one but me to blame[00:00:52]
'Cause mama tried[00:00:54]
Dear old daddy rest his soul[00:01:01]
Left my mom a heavy load[00:01:02]
She tried so very hard[00:01:05]
To fill his shoes[00:01:07]
Workin' hours without rest[00:01:09]
Wanted me to have the best[00:01:11]
Oh she tried to raise me right[00:01:13]
But I refused[00:01:15]
And I turned 21 in prison[00:01:18]
Doin' life without parole[00:01:20]
No one could steer me right[00:01:22]
But mama tried mama tried[00:01:24]
Mama tried to raise me better[00:01:26]
But her pleadin' I denied[00:01:29]
That leaves no one but me to blame[00:01:31]
'Cause mama tried[00:01:33]
And I turned 21 in prison[00:02:09]
Doin' life without parole[00:02:12]
No one could steer me right[00:02:14]
But mama tried mama tried[00:02:16]
Mama tried to raise me better[00:02:18]
But her pleadin' I denied[00:02:20]
That leaves no one but me to blame[00:02:23]
'Cause mama tried[00:02:25]
That leaves no one but me to blame[00:02:27]
'Cause mama tried[00:02:29]
