Written by:Merle Haggard[00:00:03]
First time I remember know[00:00:05]
Was that lonesome whistle blowin'[00:00:07]
And a youngin's dream[00:00:09]
Of growin' up to ride[00:00:11]
On a freight train leaving town[00:00:14]
Not knowin' where I was bound[00:00:16]
No one could steer me right[00:00:18]
But mama tried[00:00:20]
Was the only rebel child[00:00:22]
From a family meek and mild[00:00:24]
Mama seemed[00:00:27]
To know what lay in store[00:00:28]
In spite of all my sunday learning[00:00:31]
For the bad I kept on turning[00:00:33]
And mama couldn't hold me anymore[00:00:35]
And I turned twenty one in prison[00:00:40]
Doin' life without parole[00:00:42]
No one could steer me right[00:00:45]
But mama tried mama tried[00:00:46]
Mama tried to raise me better[00:00:49]
But her pleadin' I denied[00:00:51]
That leaves no one but me to blame[00:00:53]
'Cause mama tried[00:00:55]
Dear old daddy rest his soul[00:01:02]
Left my mom a heavy load[00:01:05]
She tried so very hard[00:01:07]
To fill his shoes[00:01:09]
Working hours without rest[00:01:11]
Wanted me to have the best[00:01:13]
Tried to raise me right[00:01:16]
But I refused[00:01:18]
And I turned twenty one in prison[00:01:20]
Doin' life without parole[00:01:22]
No one could steer me right[00:01:25]
But mama tried mama tried[00:01:27]
Mama tried to raise me better[00:01:29]
But her pleading I denied[00:01:31]
That leaves no one but me to blame[00:01:34]
'Cause mama tried[00:01:36]
And I turned twenty one in prison[00:02:13]
Doin' life without parole[00:02:16]
No one could steer me right[00:02:18]
But mama tried mama tried[00:02:20]
Mama tried to raise me better[00:02:22]
But her pleading I denied[00:02:25]
That leaves no one but me to blame[00:02:27]
'Cause mama tried[00:02:29]
That leaves no one but me to blame[00:02:32]
'Cause mama tried[00:02:34]
