The first thing I remember knowin’
Was a lonesome whistle blowin’
And a young-un's dream of growing 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
In spite of all my Sunday learnin’
Towards the bad, I kept a-turnin’
'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, 'cause Mama tried
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 'cause Mama tried
