[Verse 1]
                D          G
The first thing I remember knowing
      D                   G
Was a lonesome whistle blowing
      D                                 A7
And a young'un'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

[Verse 2]
          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
Despite all my Sunday learning
            D             G
Towards the bad I kept on turning
     D                 A7          D
'Til mama couldn't hold  me anymore

[Chorus]
             D                         G              D
And I turned twentyone in prison doing life without parole
   Bm
No one could steer me right but mama tried,
A7
  mama tried
          D
Mama tried to raise me better,
        G                D
but her pleading I denied
                       A7                     D
That leaves only me to blame 'cause mama tried

[Verse 3]
         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
       D                  G
Wanted me to have the best
         D                 A7        D
She tried to raise me right  but I refused

[Chorus]
             D                         G              D
And I turned twentyone in prison doing life without parole
   Bm
No one could steer me right but mama tried,
A7
  mama tried
          D
Mama tried to raise me better,
        G                D
but her pleading I denied
                       A7
That leaves only me to blame 'cause mama tried
