the everly brothers – mama tried lyrics
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 all my sunday learnin’
towards the bad, i kept a-turnin’
till 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
