Текст (слова) песни: Nitty Gritty Dirt Band - Mama Tried
The first thing I remember knowin` was a lonesome whistle blowin`, And a youngun`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 fam`ly meek and mild My mama seemed to to know what lay in store, `Spite 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 ole` Daddy, rest his soul left my mom a heavy load, She tried so very hard to feel 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
