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. --- Instrumental --- Dear old daddy, rest his soul, left my mama 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 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... |
