First thing I remember knowin' was a lonesome whistle blowin'
RE SOL LA7And a young-on's dream of growing up to ride
RE SOL RE SOLOn a freight train leaving town, not knowing where I'm bound
And no one could change my mind, but Mama tried
One and only rebel child, from a family meek and mild
Mama seemed to know what lay in store
'Spite of all my Sunday learnin', toward the bad I kept on turnin'
'Til Mama couldn't hold me anymore
CHORUS
And I turned twenty-one in prison doing life without parole
SOL RE LA7No one could steer me right, but Mama tried, Mama tried
RE SOL REMama tried to raise me better, but her pleading I denied,
that leaves only me to blame, 'cause Mama tried
Dear old Daddy rest his soul, he left my mom a heavy load
She tried so very hard to fill his shoes
Working hours without rest, she wanted me to have the best
She tried to raise me right, but I refused
