Testo Medley: Tulare Dust / Mama Tried - Merle Haggard
Testo della canzone Medley: Tulare Dust / Mama Tried (Merle Haggard), tratta dall'album Amber Waves of Grain
Tulare dust in a farm boy's nose
Wondering where the freight train goes
Standing in a field by the railroad track
Cussing the strap on my cotton sack
I can see Mom and Dad with shoulders low
Both of 'em picking on a double row
They do it for a living because they must
That's life like it is in the Tulare dust
First thing I remember knowing was a lonesome whistle blowing
And a young'un's dream of growing up to ride
A freight train leaving town, not knowing 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
Spent all my Sunday's learning, towards the bad I kept on turning
'Til Mama couldn't hold me anymore
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, left my mom a heavy load
She tried so very hard to fill his shoes
Working 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 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
