lirik lagu joan baez – mama tried
first thing i remember knowin’
was a lonesome whistle blowin’
and a young man’s dream of growin’ up to ride
on a freight train leavin’ town
never knowin’ where i’m bound
no one could change my mind but mama tried
one and only rebel child
from a family, meek and mild
my mama seemed to know what lay in store
‘spite of all my sunday learnin’
to the bad, i kept a turnin’
’til mama couldn’t hold me anymore
i turned twenty-one in prison
doing life without parole
no one could steer me right
but mama tried, mama tried
mama tried to raise me better
but her pleadings i denied
that leaves only me to blame ’cause mama tried
dear old daddy, rest his soul
left my mom a heavy load
she tried so very hard to fill his shoes
workin’ hours without rest
wanted me to have the best
she tried to raise me right but i refused
i turned twenty-one in prison
doin’ life without parole
no one could steer me right
but mama tried, mama tried
mama tried to raise me better
but her pleadings i denied
that leaves only me to blame ’cause mama tried
