lirik lagu mama tried – merle haggard & the strangers
[verse 1]
the first thing i remember knowing
was a lonesome whistle blowing
and a young’un’s dream of growing up to ride
on a freight train leaving town
not knowing 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 learning
towards the bad i kept on turning
’til mama couldn’t hold me anymore
[chorus]
and i turned twenty-one in prison doing 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
that leaves only me to blame ’cause mama tried
[verse 2]
dear old daddy, rest his soul
left my mom a heavy load
she tried so very hard to fill his shoes
working hours without rest
wanted me to have the best
she tried to raise me right but i refused
[chorus]
and i turned twenty-one in prison doing 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
that leaves only me to blame ’cause mama tried
