Testo Mama Tried - Grateful Dead
Testo della canzone Mama Tried (Grateful Dead), tratta dall'album Pandora's Box: A Miscellany Volume One
The first thing I remember knowin'
Was a lonesome whistle blowin'
And a youngin's dream of growin' up to ride
On a freight train leavin' town
Not knowin' where I'm bound
And no one could change my mind, but Mama tried
The only rebel child
From a family meek and mild
My mama seemed to know what lay in store
But all my Sunday learnin'
Towards the bad I kept on turnin'
'Til 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 pleadin' 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
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 pleadin' I denied
That leaves only me to blame 'cause Mama tried
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 pleadin' I denied
That leaves only me to blame 'cause Mama tried
That leaves only me to blame 'cause Mama tried
Thank you
