[00:00.000] 作词 : Haggard
[00:12.07] The first thing I remember knowing
[00:14.56] Was a lonesome whistle blowing
[00:17.06] And a young'un's dream of growing up to ride
[00:21.52] On a freight train leaving town
[00:24.64] Not knowing where I'm bound
[00:26.75] And no one could change my mind but Mama tried
[00:31.39] One and only rebel child
[00:34.18] From a family meek and mild
[00:36.60] My mama seemed to know what lay in store
[00:41.32] Despite all my Sunday learning
[00:43.92] Towards the bad I kept on turning
[00:46.37] Till Mama couldn't hold me anymore
[00:51.09] I turned twenty-one in prison
[00:53.66] Doing life without parole
[00:56.17] No one could steer me right
[00:58.42] But Mama tried, Mama tried
[01:00.91] Mama tried to raise me better
[01:03.83] But her pleading I denied
[01:05.92] That leaves only me to blame
[01:08.40] 'Cause Mama tried
[01:09.90]
[01:20.20] Dear old Daddy, rest his soul
[01:22.89] Left my mom a heavy load
[01:25.78] She tried so very hard to fill his shoes
[01:29.96] Working hours without rest
[01:32.65] Wanted me to have the best
[01:35.34] She tried to raise me right but I refused
[01:40.21] And I turned twenty-one in prison
[01:42.68] Doing life without parole
[01:44.93] No one could steer me right
[01:47.16] But Mama tried, Mama tried
[01:49.86] Mama tried to raise me better
[01:52.43] But her pleading I denied
[01:54.66] That leaves only me to blame
[01:56.98] 'Cause Mama tried
