Mama Tried (妈妈的努力) (2001 Digital Remaster) - 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

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
