MAMA TRIED

MERLE HAGGARD

Paroles et musique :Merle Haggard

Tonalité :

The first thing I remember knowin'was a l onesome whistle b lowin',

And a youngun's dream of growin'up to r ide,

On a freight train leavin't own, not k nowin'where I'm bo und.

And no one could change my mind but Momma Tried.

One and only Rebel child from a fam'ly meek and mild

My momma seemed to to know what lay in store,

'Spite all my Sunday learnin'towards the b ad I kept on t urnin',

'Til momma couldn't hold me any more.

And I turned twenty-one in prison doin'l ife without parol e,

No one could steer me right but Mamma Tried, Momma Tried

Momma Tried to raise me better but her pleading I de nied

And that leaves only me to blame, cause Momma Tried

Dear ole'daddy, rest his s oul left my m om a heavy l oad,

She tried so very hard to feel his shoes,

Workin'h ours without r est, wanted m e to have the b est

She tried to raise me right but I re fused.
