Medley: Tulare Dust / Mama Tried (Live) - Merle Haggard[00:00:00]

Tulare dust in a farm boy's nose[00:00:03]

Wondering where the freight train goes[00:00:10]

Standin' in the field by the railroad track[00:00:15]

Cursin' this strap on my cotton sack[00:00:22]

I can see mom and dad with shoulders low[00:00:27]

Both of 'em pickin' on a double row[00:00:34]

They do it for a livin' because they must[00:00:39]

That's life like it is in the Tulare dust[00:00:43]

First thing I remember knowing[00:00:50]

Was a lonesome whistle blowing[00:00:52]

And a young un's dream of growing up to ride[00:00:54]

On a freight train leaving town[00:00:59]

Not knowing where I'm bound[00:01:01]

And no one could change my mind but mama tried[00:01:03]

One and only rebel child from a family[00:01:08]

Meek and mild[00:01:11]

My mama seemed to know what lay in store[00:01:12]

Despite all my Sunday learning[00:01:17]

Towards the bad I kept on turning[00:01:19]

'Til mama couldn't hold me anymore[00:01:21]

And I turned twenty-one in prison doing life[00:01:25]

Without parole[00:01:28]

No one could steer me right but mama tried[00:01:30]

Mama tried[00:01:33]

Mama tried to raise me better[00:01:34]

But her pleading I denied[00:01:37]

The only thing did play but mama tried[00:01:39]

Dear old daddy rest his soul[00:02:03]

Left my mom a heavy load[00:02:05]

She tried so very hard to fill his shoes[00:02:07]

Working hours without rest[00:02:12]

Wanted me to have the best[00:02:14]

She tried to raise me right but I refused[00:02:16]

And I turned twenty-one in prison doing life[00:02:20]

Without parole[00:02:24]

No one could steer me right but mama tried[00:02:25]

Mama tried[00:02:28]

Mama tried to raise me better[00:02:29]

But her pleading I denied[00:02:32]

That leaves only me to blame 'cause mama tried[00:02:34]
