The first thing I remember knowin'
Was a lonesome whistle blowin'
And a youngun's dream of growin' 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 fam'ly meek and mild
My mama seemed to, to know what lay in store
'Spite all my Sunday learnin' towards the bad I kept on turnin'
'Til mama couldn't hold me anymore
And I turned twenty-one in prison doin' 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
And that leaves only me to blame ââ¬~cause mama tried
Dear ole' 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
She tried to raise me right but I refused
And I turned twenty-one in prison doin' 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
And that leaves only me to blame ââ¬~cause mama tried
