Mama Tried - Hank Snow
The first I remember knowin' was that lonesome whistle blowin'
And a youngin's dream of growin' up to ride.
on a freight train leavin' town, not knowin' where I was bound
No on e could steer me right, but mama tried.
Was the on ly rebel child from a family meek and mild
Mama seemed to know what lay in store
In spite of all my Sunday learnin'
For the bad I kept on turnin' and mama couldn't hold me anymore.
And I turned 21 in prison, doin' life without parole
No on e could steer me right, but mama tried, mama tried
Mama tried to raise me better, but her pleadin' I denied
That leaves no on e but 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
Workin' hours without rest, wanted me to have the best
Oh she tried to raise me right, but I refused.
And I turned 21 in prison, doin' life without parole
No on e could steer me right, but mama tried, mama tried
Mama tried to raise me better, but her pleadin' I denied
That leaves no on e but me to blame cause mama tried.
