D G
The first thing I remember knowing
D G
Was a lonesome whistle blowing
D A7
And a young one's dream of growing up to ride
D G
On a freight train leaving town
D G
Not knowing where I'm bound
D A7 D
And no one could change my mind but Mama tried
D G
One and only rebel child
D G
>From a family meek and mild
D A7
My mama seemed to know what lay in store
D G
Depite all my Sunday learning
D G
Towards the bad I kept on turning
D A7 D
Til Mama couldn't hold me anymore
D G D
And I turned twenty-one in prison doing life without parole
Bm A
No one could steer me right but Mama tried Mama tried
D G D
Mama tried to raise me better but her pleading I denied
D A7 D
That leaves only me to blame cause Mama tried
D G
Dear old Daddy rest his soul
D G
Left my mom a heavy load
D A7
She tried so very hard to fill his shoes
D G
Working hours without rest
