Mama Tried (妈妈的努力) (2001 Digital Remaster) - Merle Haggard (梅尔·哈格德)[00:00:00]
The first thing I remember knowing [00:00:12]
Was a lonesome whistle blowing [00:00:15]
And a young un's dream of growing up to ride;[00:00:17]
On a freight train leaving town [00:00:22]
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:[00:00:34]
My Mama seemed to know what lay in store [00:00:36]
Despite all my Sunday learning [00:00:42]
Towards the bad I kept on turning [00:00:44]
'Til Mama couldn't hold me anymore [00:00:46]
And I turned twenty-one[00:00:51]
In prison doing life without parole [00:00:53]
No-one could steer me right[00:00:56]
But Mama tried Mama tried [00:00:58]
Mama tried to raise me better [00:01:01]
But her pleading I denied [00:01:03]
That leaves only me to blame 'cos Mama tried [00:01:06]
Dear old Daddy rest his soul [00:01:21]
Left my Mom a heavy load;[00:01:23]
She tried so very hard to fill his shoes [00:01:25]
Working hours without rest [00:01:30]
Wanted me to have the best [00:01:32]
She tried to raise me right but I refused [00:01:35]
And I turned twenty-one[00:01:40]
In prison doing life without parole [00:01:42]
No-one could steer me right[00:01:45]
But Mama tried Mama tried [00:01:47]
Mama tried to raise me better [00:01:50]
But her pleading I denied [00:01:52]
That leaves only me to blame 'cos Mama tried[00:01:55]
