Mama Tried - The Seldom Scene |
| [00:08.70] |
The first thing I remember knowing was a lonesome whistle blowing |
| [00:13.40] |
And a young gun's dream of growing up to ride |
| [00:17.55] |
On a freight train leaving town not knowing where I'm bound |
| [00:22.27] |
No one could steer me right but Mama tried |
| [00:26.76] |
One and only rebel child from the family meek and mild |
| [00:31.44] |
My mama seemed to know what lay in store |
| [00:35.55] |
Despite all my Sunday learning towards the bad I kept on turning |
| [00:40.48] |
'Til mama couldn't hold me anymore |
| [00:44.60] |
And I turned twenty-one in prison doing life without parole |
| [00:49.23] |
No one could steer me right but mama tried mama tried |
| [00:53.50] |
Mama tried to raise me better but her pleading I denied |
| [00:58.09] |
That leaves only me to blame 'cause mama tried |
| [01:20.51] |
Dear old daddy rest his soul left my Mom a heavy load |
| [01:25.29] |
She tried so very hard to fill his shoes |
| [01:29.31] |
Working hours without rest wanted me to have the best |
| [01:33.96] |
She tried to raise me right but I refused |
| [01:38.11] |
And I turned twenty-one in prison doing life without parole |
| [01:42.83] |
No one could steer me right but mama tried mama tried |
| [01:47.09] |
Mama tried to raise me better but her pleading I denied |
| [01:51.86] |
That leaves only me to blame 'cause mama tried |
