These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
The first thing I remember knowin'
The first thing I remember knowing'
Was a lonesome whistle blowin'
Was a lonesome whistle blowin'
And a young un's dream of growin' up to ride
And a young man's dream of growing up to ride
On a freight train leavin' town
On a freight train leaving town
Not knowin' where I'm bound
Not knowing where I'm bound
And no one could change my mind but Mama tried
And no one could change my mind but Mama tried
One and only rebel child
One and only rebel child
From a family, meek and mild
From a family, meek and mild
My Mama seemed to know what lay in store
My Mama seemed to know what lay in store
Despite all my Sunday learnin'
Despite all my Sunday learnin'
Towards the bad, I kept on turnin'
Towards the bad, I kept on turning'
'Til Mama couldn't hold me anymore
'Til Mama couldn't hold me anymore
And I turned twenty-one in prison doin' life without parole
And I turned twenty-one in prison doin' life without parole
No one could steer me right but Mama tried, Mama tried
No one could steer me right but Mama tried, Mama tried
Mama tried to raise me better, but her pleading, I denied
Mama tried to raise me better, but her pleading for her, I denied
That leaves only me to blame 'cause Mama tried
That leaves only me to blame 'cause Mama tried
Dear old Daddy, rest his soul
Dear old Daddy, rest his soul
Left my Mom a heavy load
Left my Mom a heavy load
She tried so very hard to fill his shoes
She tried so very hard to fill his shoes
Workin' hours without rest
Workin' hours without rest
Wanted me to have the best
Wanted me to have the best
She tried to raise me right but I refused
She tried to raise me right but I refused
And I turned twenty-one in prison doin' life without parole
And I turned twenty-one in prison doin' life without parole
No one could steer me right but Mama tried, Mama tried
No one could steer me right but Mama tried, Mama tried
Mama tried to raise me better, but her pleading, I denied
Mama tried to raise me better, but her pleading for her, I denied
That leaves only me to blame 'cause Mama tried
That leaves only me to blame 'cause Mama tried
