1
The first I remember knowin'
2
Was that lonesome whistle blowin'
3
And a youngin's dream
4
Of growin' up to ride
5
On a freight train leavin' town
6
Not knowin' where I was bound
7
No one could steer me right
8
But mama tried
9
Was the only rebel child
10
From a family meek and mild
11
Mama seemed to know
12
What lay in store
13
In spite of all my
14
Sunday learnin'
15
For the bad I kept on turnin'
16
And mama couldn't hold me anymore
17
And I turned 21 in prison
18
Doin' life without parole
19
No one could steer me right
20
But mama tried, mama tried
21
Mama tried to raise me better
22
But her pleadin' I denied
23
That leaves no one but me to blame
24
'Cause mama tried
25
Dear old daddy rest his soul
26
Left my mom a heavy load
27
She tried so very hard
28
To fill his shoes
29
Workin' hours without rest
30
Wanted me to have the best
31
Oh, she tried to raise me right
32
But I refused
33
And I turned 21 in prison
34
Doin' life without parole
35
No one could steer me right
36
But mama tried, mama tried
37
Mama tried to raise me better
38
But her pleadin' I denied
39
That leaves no one but me to blame
40
'Cause mama tried
41
And I turned 21 in prison
42
Doin' life without parole
43
No one could steer me right
44
But mama tried, mama tried
45
Mama tried to raise me better
46
But her pleadin' I denied
47
That leaves no one but me to blame
48
'Cause mama tried
49
That leaves no one but me to blame
50
'Cause mama tried
