The first i remember knowin’ was that lonesome whistle blowin’
And a youngin’s dream of growin’ up to ride.
On a freight train leavin’ town, not knowin’ where i was bound
No one could steer me right, but mama tried.

Was the only rebel child from a family meek and mild
Mama seemed to know what lay in store
In spite of all my sunday learnin’
For the bad i kept on turnin’ and mama couldn’t hold me anymore.

And i turned 21 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 pleadin’ i denied
That leaves no one but 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
Oh she tried to raise me right, but i refused.

And i turned 21 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 pleadin’ i denied
That leaves no one but me to blame cause mama tried.

First thing i remember knowin’
Was a lonesome whistle blowin’
And a young one’s dream of growin’ up to ride
On a freight train leavin’ town
Not knowin’ where i’m bound
No one could steer me right
But mama tried

One and only rebel child
From a family meek and mild
My mama seemed to know what lay in store
In spite of all my sunday learnin’
Toward the bad i kept on turnin’
Till mama couldn’t hold me anymore

And 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 pleading i denied
And that leaves only me to blame
‘cause mama tried

And then there was another man from texas.
My mama and daddy used to drive for
Miles and miles just to listen to him sing.
I remember mama used to tell me.
She’d say "reba he’s got the best voice i’ve ever heard"
And then later on when i got to go and listen to him sing,
I’d sit there all night long and wait for
Ray price to sing the blues.

Merle haggard, bluebook music (bmi)
First thing i remember knowin’ was a lonesome whistle blowin’
And a young-on’s dream of growing up to ride
On 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
No one could steer me right, but mama tried, mama tried
Mama 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

Chorus
