Mama Tried
dear old daddy rest his soul
left 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 so very hard but i refused
i turned 21 in prison
doin life wirhout parole
no one to raise me right
but mama tried, mama tried
mama tried to raise me better
but her pleadings I denied
that leaves only me to blame 'cause mama tried
that leaves only me to blame 'cause mama tried
left 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 so very hard but i refused
i turned 21 in prison
doin life wirhout parole
no one to raise me right
but mama tried, mama tried
mama tried to raise me better
but her pleadings I denied
that leaves only me to blame 'cause mama tried
that leaves only me to blame 'cause mama tried
