Testi

First thing I remember knowin'
Was a lonesome whistle blowin'
And a youngin's dream of growin' up to ride
On a freight train leavin' town
Not knowin' 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
Spite of 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 plea that I denied
Now it's only me to blame 'cause Mama tried
Dear old Daddy, rest his soul
Left my mama a heavy load
She tried so very hard to fill his shoes
Workin' hours without rest
Wantin' 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 plea that I denied
Now it's only me to blame 'cause Mama tried
Mmm-hmm
Only me to blame 'cause Mama tried
Ooh-hoo
Only me to blame 'cause Mama tried
Oh yeah
Only me to blame 'cause Mama tried
