The first thing I remember knowing was a lonesome whistle blowing
G C D7
And a youngun's dream of growing up to ride
G C G C
On a freight train leaving town not knowing where I'm bound
G D7 G
And no one could change my mind but Mama Tried
C G C
One and only Rebel child from a family meek and mild
G C D7
My mama seemed to know what lay in store
G C G C
Spite all my Sunday learning with the bad I kept on turning
G D7 G
Till mama couldn't hold me anymore
Chorus
C G
And I turned twenty-one in prison doing life without parole
D7
No one could steer me right but Mama Tried Mama Tried
G C G
Mama Tried to raise me better but her pleading I denied
D7 G
And that leaves only me to blame cause Mama Tried
C G C
Dear ole' daddy rest his soul left my mom a heavy load
G C D7
She tried so very hard to feel his shoes
G C G C
Working hours without rest wanted me to have the best
G D7 G
She tried to raise me right but I refused
Chorus:
C G
And I turned twenty-one in prison doing life without parole
D7
No one could steer me right but Mama Tried Mama Tried
G C G
Mama Tried to raise me better but her pleading I denied
D7 G
And that leaves only me to blame cause Mama Tried
