Mama Tried (妈妈的努力) - Leon Copeland[00:00:00]
First thing I remember knowin' was a lonesome whistle blowin'[00:00:11]
And a young'uns dream of growin' up to ride[00:00:16]
On a freight train leavin' town, not knowin' where I'm bound[00:00:20]
And no one could change my mind, but Mama tried[00:00:25]
One and only rebel child from a family meek and mild[00:00:29]
My Mama seemed to know what lay in store[00:00:34]
Spite of all my Sunday learnin', toward the bad I kept on turnin'[00:00:38]
Till Mama couldn't hold me anymore[00:00:43]
I turned twenty-one in prison doin' life without parole[00:00:47]
No one could steer me right, but Mama tried, Mama tried[00:00:52]
Mama tried to raise me better, but her pleading I denied[00:00:56]
That leaves only me to blame 'cause Mama tried[00:01:01]
Dear old Daddy rest his soul left my Mama a heavy load[00:01:14]
She tried so very hard to fill his shoes[00:01:19]
Workin' hours without rest, wanted me to have the best[00:01:23]
She tried to raise me right but I refused[00:01:28]
I turned twenty-one in prison doin' life without parole[00:01:32]
No one could steer me right, but Mama tried, Mama tried[00:01:37]
Mama tried to raise me better, but her pleading I denied[00:01:41]
That leaves only me to blame 'cause Mama tried[00:01:45]
