[00:00.10] First thing i remember knowing was a lonesome whistle blowing
[00:05.97] And a young-on's dream of growing up to ride
[00:11.28] On a freight train leaving town, not knowing where i'm bound
[00:16.80] And no one could change my mind, but mama tried
[00:21.94] One and only rebel child, from a family meek and mild
[00:27.57] Mama seemed to know what lay in store
[00:32.61] Spite of all my sunday learning, toward the bad i kept on turning
[00:38.11] Til mama couldn't hold me anymore
[00:43.25] And i turned twenty-one in prison doing life without parole
[00:49.03] No one could steer me right, but mama tried, mama tried
[00:54.00] Mama tried to raise me better, but her pleading i denied
[00:59.50] That leaves only me to blame, cause mama tried
[01:25.99] Dear old daddy rest his soul, he left my mom a heavy load
[01:31.42] She tried so very hard to fill his shoes
[01:36.64] Working hours without rest, she wanted me to have the best
[01:42.18] She tried to raise me right, but i refused
[01:47.07] And i turned twenty-one in prison doing life without parole
[01:53.01] No one could steer me right, but mama tried, mama tried
[01:58.14] Mama tried to raise me better, but her pleading i denied
[02:03.48] That leaves only me to blame, cause mama tried
[02:08.66] That leaves only me to blame, cause mama tried
[02:14.10] That leaves only me to blame, cause mama tried
