Mama Tried (妈妈的努力) - US Navy Band Country Current/MUC Patrick J. White/MU1 Jeremy K. Middleton[00:00:00]
First thing I remember knowin'[00:00:12]
Was a lonesome whistle blowin'[00:00:14]
And a young one's dream of growin' up to ride[00:00:17]
On a freight train leavin' town[00:00:21]
Not knowin' where I'm bound[00:00:24]
No one could steer me right[00:00:26]
But mama tried[00:00:28]
One and only rebel child[00:00:31]
From a family meek and mild[00:00:33]
My mama seemed to know what lay in store[00:00:36]
In spite of all my sunday learnin'[00:00:40]
Toward the bad I kept on turnin'[00:00:43]
Till mama couldn't hold me anymore[00:00:45]
And I turned twenty-one in prison[00:00:50]
Doin' life without parole[00:00:52]
No one could steer me right[00:00:55]
But mama tried mama tried[00:00:57]
Mama tried to raise me better[00:00:59]
But her pleading I denied[00:01:02]
And that leaves only me to blame[00:01:04]
'Cause mama tried[00:01:06]
Dear old daddy rest his soul[00:01:19]
Left my mom a heavy load[00:01:21]
She tried so very hard to fill his shoes[00:01:24]
Working hours without rest[00:01:28]
Wanted me to have the best[00:01:31]
She tried so very hard but I refused[00:01:33]
And I turned twenty-one in prison doing life without parole[00:01:38]
No-one could steer me right but mama tried mama tried[00:01:43]
Mama tried to raise me better but her pleading I denied[00:01:47]
That leaves only me to blame 'cos mama tried[00:01:52]
And I turned twenty-one in prison doing life without parole[00:02:35]
No-one could steer me right but mama tried mama tried[00:02:40]
