Mama Tried (Live) - Country's Family Reunion/Rhonda Vincent

Lyrics by：Merle Haggard

Composed by：Merle Haggard

Produced by：Gabriel Communications

The first thing I remember knowin'

Was a lonesome whistle blowin'

And a young un's dream

Of growin' up to ride

On a freight train leavin' town

Not knowin' where I'm bound

And no one could change my mind

But mama tried

One and only rebel child

From a family meek and mild

My mama seemed to know what lay in store

Despite all my sunday learnin'

Towards the bad I kept on turnin'

'Til mama couldn't hold me anymore

And I turned twenty-one in prison

Doin' life without parole

No one could steer me right

But mama tried mama tried

Mama tried to raise me better

But her pleading

I denied

And that leaves only me to blame

'Cause mama tried

Dear old daddy rest his soul

Left my mom a heavy load

She tried so very hard to fill his shoes

Workin' hours without rest

Wanted me to have the best

She tried to raise me right

But I refused

And I turned twenty-one in prison

Doin' life without parole

No one could steer me right

But mama tried mama tried

Mama tried to raise me better

But her pleading I denied

And that leaves only me to blame

'Cause mama tried
