Verse
D G
The first thing I remember know-in'
D G
was a lonesome whist-le blow-in,
D G A
And a young-on's dream of grow-in up to ride,
D G
On a freight train leav-in town,
D G
not know-in where I'm bound,
D A D
And no one could change my mind, but Ma-ma tried.
D G
One and on-ly reb-el child,
D G
From a fam-ily meek and mild,
D G A
My ma-ma seemed to know what lay in store,
D G
Spite all my Sun-day learn-in'
D G
towards the bad I kept on turn-in,
D A D
Til Ma-ma could-n't hold me an-y-more.
Chorus
D G
And I turned twenty-one in pris-on do-in life with-out
D G D A
pa-role, No one could steer me right but Ma-ma tried,
D
Mama tried. Ma-ma tried to raise me bet-ter, but her
G D A
plead-ing I de-nied, That leaves only me to blame,
D
cause Ma-ma tried.
Verse
D G
Dear ol' Dad-dy, rest his soul,
D G
left my mom a heav-y load,
D G A
She tried so very hard to fill his shoes,
D G
Work-in hou-rs with-out rest,
D G
Want-ed me to have the best,
D A D
She tried to raise me right but I re-fused
Chorus
D G
And I turned twenty-one in prison do-in life with-out
D G D A
pa-role, No one could steer me right but Ma-ma tried,
D
Mama tried. Ma-ma tried to raise me bet-ter, but her
G D
plead-ing I de-nied,
A
That leaves only me to blame cause Ma-ma tried..
