  VERSION 1  

CHORDS USED : Db, Gb, Ab7

            Db          Gb             Db                Gb
First thing I remember knowin' was a lonesome whistle blowin'
      Db                   Gb             Ab7
And a young-on's dream of growing up to ride
     Db                     Gb         Db                 Gb
On a freight train leaving town, not knowing where I'm bound
       Db                   Ab7             Db
And no one could change my mind, but Mama tried

One and only rebel child, from a family meek and mild
Mama seemed to know what lay in store
'Spite of all my Sunday learnin', toward the bad I kept on turnin'
'Til Mama couldn't hold me anymore

CHORUS:
Db                                       Gb              Db
And I turned twenty-one in prison doing life without parole
   Gb                  Db                           Ab7
No one could steer me right, but Mama tried, Mama tried
     Db                                 Gb             Db
Mama tried to raise me better, but her pleading I denied,
                       Ab7                 Db
that leaves only me to blame, 'cause Mama tried

Dear old Daddy rest his soul, he left my mom a heavy load
She tried so very hard to fill his shoes
Working hours without rest, she wanted me to have the best
She tried to raise me right, but I refused

CHORUS"
