Текст песни Mama Tried - David Allan Coe

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
