[Verse 1]
The first thing DI remember Gknowing was a Dlonesome whistle Gblowin'
And a Dyoung un's dream of growin' up to A7ride
On a Dfreight train leavin' Gtown, not Dknowin' where I'm Gbound
And no Done could change my A7mind, but Mama Dtried
[Verse 2]
One and Donly rebel Gchild, from a Dfamily meek and Gmild
My MDama seemed to know what lay in sA7tore
'Spite of Dall my Sunday Glearnin', toward the Dbad I kept on Gturnin'
'Til DMama couldn't A7hold me anyDmore
[Chorus]
And I turned tDwenty-one in prison doin' Glife without parDole
No Bmone could steer me right, but Mama A7tried, Mama tried
Mama Dtried to raise me better, but her Gpleading I denDied,
that leaves only me to A7blame, 'cause Mama Dtried

[Verse 3]
Dear old DDaddy, rest his sGoul, he left my Dmom a heavy lGoad
She trDied so very hard to fill his A7shoes
Workin' hoDurs without Grest, wantedD me to have the Gbest
She Dtried to raise me A7right, but I reDfused
[Chorus]
And I turned tDwenty-one in prison doin' Glife without parDole
No Bmone could steer me right, but Mama A7tried, Mama tried
Mama Dtried to raise me better, but her Gpleading I denDied,
