Generate meaning
1
I left my home town
2
Turned a good woman down
3
Even laughed at my own Mother's plea
4
I pushed her aside
5
Even laughed when she cried
6
Now I'm here in this penitentary
7
Now Mother knows best
8
Her love has stood the test
9
The records will prove it, you see
10
But youth's full of fire
11
Challenge and desire
12
Now I'm here in this penitentary
13
I fell in you see with bad company
14
And I started in gamblin' for fun
15
One night when the cards
16
Had been dealt and I'd lost
17
I backed up my play with a gun
18
Now Mother knows best
19
Her love has stood the test
20
The records will prove it, you see
21
I shot and I killed
22
For a twenty dollar bill
23
Now I'm here in this penitentary
