lirik lagu mama tried – merle haggard
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,
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.
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 ‘cos mama tried.
instrumental break.
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.
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 ‘cos mama tried.
